While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons. During this short period, the hot summer here in Bahrain, and considering the number of fragrances that I am using per week, Kalemat has given me compliments almost every-time that I have worn it. It’s can remind you of many many Middle-Eastern gourmand type of fragrances particularly Oud-Vanilla-Chocolaty fragrances. Moreover, while I receive plenty of compliments while wearing Kalemat, the compliments are off-the-chain when wearing Kalemat Black.

I think Arabian Oud has a typo with the smaller size listed in the description of the perfume’s notes, as all other vendors have the perfume listed as being 100 ml.I think Sehr el Kalemat might be a good choice for someone looking for an inexpensive, dry, woody, slightly masculine Middle Eastern fragrance that bears a microscopic similarity to Amouage’s costly Interlude Man. Kalemat remains my top choice for subtle oriental indulgence, but should I choose, in a social event, to make my presence more than obvious .

after that it lasted 5 to 6 hours strong and i could feel it around me but never porjecting like crazy as iy should at that amount of sprays considering that is EDP and oil based perfume coming from this legendary house ! The frankincense smells nothing like that dirty or ashtray kind you'd expect in most designer fragrances. Those with a different skin chemistry may experience an even drier version of Sehr el Kalemat than I did, so please keep that in mind.Few hours later, another female colleague was talking to another colleagues across my desk opposite to where I was sitting. Over the next hours, Kalemat Black transitions into a wonderful vanilla-amber-oud scent on my skin, which is slightly creamy and not too sweet. The scent starts quite intense, but do not worry about this, after approximate 1 hour it turns to a creamy smoky vanilla amber scent. A inexplicably addictive mix of smooth woody notes, vanilla and resins enriched by fruity facets and distant spicy echoes.

I think most women (but not all) would have a much easier time with the original Kalemat, as it’s a warmer, more accessible, more inherently unisex fragrance. What is the luxury version of this, there must be something that smells like this but 10x more luxurious, and more expensive, and does anybody know if there is something that smells like this with a tiny bit of smokiness, (not tobacco or cigarettes, but like you go out and there is the snell of burnt wood/paper in the atmosphere or a distant BBQ sought of smoke), this one of my favourites. The berry note is interesting because, to my nose, it smells identical to the blueberry purée that the original Kalemat opens with, along with the merest whiff of something verging on raspberry. Something about it has a scratchy steeliness, which I realise makes no sense unless you’ve actually tried Sehr el Kalemat for yourself. I do have both Black kalemat(sehar kalemat) and kalemat original version, i felt both of them are almost produce similar smell,other than the over projection of Oud in black kalemat.

Performance on Kalemat Black is so NUCLEAR that I am getting worried about Arabian Oud company offices in London getting raided by the MI6 ! Perhaps honeyed, perhaps fruity, perhaps vanilla, but it doesn't smell like anything edible, thankfully. He slowly becomes warmer, darker, vanilla I also smell, but clearly less than the amber and incense.
