Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Al Hajjar Al Aswad is an Eau de Toilette. Abdul Samad Al Qurashi's Al Hajjar Al Aswad carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher. Some find it a clean, soapy grape dream, others a 'nauseating' granny scent. If you're after a controversial, long-lasting unisex floral, this could be your jam - or your nightmare.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its significant projection and longevity might be a bit much for an enclosed office setting, but its clean, versatile character makes it suitable for casual wear and can certainly hold its own on a date or for a special event. The 'beast mode' performance makes it less ideal for sporting activities.

About

Al Hajjar Al Aswad opens with an unusual and divisive burst of grape, not cloyingly sweet but natural, reminiscent of a refined, fruity soap. This quickly mellows into a clean, floral heart with iris and hawthorn, lending a sophisticated, slightly powdery edge. The dry down introduces a delicate blend of oud and sandalwood, grounded by a subtle palm tree note, creating a unique, almost sacred warmth that lingers.
