Diamond

Diamond from the Qatari house Al-Jazeera Perfumes is a woody, musky rose worn by anyone, released in 2014. Everyone who has described it finds it woody, musky and floral in equal measure.

Three notes are listed: agarwood, rose and musk. Agarwood supplies a dark, resinous, slightly animalic woodiness; rose lays a warm, velvety petal note over it; and musk smooths and lightens the pair into a clean, soft finish. Without ambergris, spice or sweetness, this is a leaner, slightly cleaner take on the oud and rose pairing than many of its siblings, and with so few notes it is likely to stay close to its opening character for the whole wear.

No wear reports have been collected, so longevity and sillage are unknown. A rose, oud and musk composition of this kind suits cooler weather and evening wear, though the musk keeps it wearable in daytime too, and would appeal to anyone who wants oud and rose in a tidy, uncomplicated form. It is sold as a full bottle.
