Hajre Aswad Oil

Which Should You Buy?
This one is pure marmite - you'll either love its bold, animalic oud and rose combo or recoil in disgust. Don't even think about a blind buy, and be prepared for an intense opening that polarises everyone, but a truly unique dry-down for the adventurous.
Hajre Aswad is named for the Black Stone at the Kaaba and is a traditional attar genre, not a designer perfume - versions vary by house, and Pearl's is an amber-forward blend of rose, saffron, oud and musk rather than a copy of any brand.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'off the charts' projection and longevity, Myriad is completely overwhelming for everyday or casual settings. It's best reserved for special evening dates or formal events where its powerful and unique character can be appreciated rather than cause offence.
Seasons
The warm amber-oud composition suits cooler weather, where its richness feels grounding rather than heavy.
Occasions
Its reverent, incense-like character suits formal or ceremonial occasions as well as relaxed everyday wear.
