As we were talking about before... I LOVE the smell of this one but it just didn't work to much on my skin... It smelled great but something came off dough like on my skin. On others it smelled great. I love AN from Hermes ! Great great take Marc! 👍👍
Got mine today 5 yrs later and it’s still wonderful, I would wear it in the evening year round. Cooler does activate it more though, but it’s just so gorgeous I can’t help just over spraying it.
I have changed my mind about Oajan. I bought the 78%alc and sold it because it was too strong and cloying (headaches, red skin). I recently tried the 82%acl. While it was better balanced and more refined than the previous version, I still found it wanting. It doesn't strike a perfect balance. Something was off in the drydown. It took me a while for the penny to drop. I've decided on AN. Not cheap, but way more refined.
Nice review, and your scoring and impressions are spot on. I really like and enjoy Oajan quite a bit, but find it redundant with Ambre Narguile and Ambre Tabac, both of which I prefer slightly over Oajan.
Only PDM I have purchased and probably the only one I ever will own. The others have counterparts more affordable for me. Got a sweet price in the wee morning hours on Amazon.
Oajan is amazing I jus found out about it today 2021 n I'm hooked. Jus getting I to this so wht do u recommend thts not too pricey. Thank u for wht u do its much appreciated.
I own 6 from this house and find them to be average...not bad but not fantastic. I probably would not spend $$ again on them. The ones I own are Habden, Pegasus, Nisean, Oajan, Herod and Layton Exclusif. The one I like best is Nisean. I believe these were a little over-hyped on the You-Tube fragrance community.
I AGREE 100% GOOD INGREDIENTS BUT WAY OVER hyped I only paid 24.00 to 14,99 for a 8ml about 125 sprays would never pay more for anything they put out try Afnan great Frag's for less than 30.00 $$
Wow; it took me 8 months to notice this comment!! Like he goes on about oajan,, Carlisle is just incredible. For me, its my Jubilation25, my ''found one''. Apple / toffee/marshmallow / Shisha parlor and hint of saffron/davana. All wrapped in a cloak of class (or beautiful Vanilla lol). It's strange because I find it nothing like Oajan or Narguile (I'm very anosmic towards almond or cherry / powder, so that is likely the deal-breaker). But I do find similarities with Herod. And it's oddly pretty safe,,,
@@Puddycat00 That's such a generic answer. And why so much hate, what's the matter with you? Your opinion is not even informed, this clearly has rare notes of saffron, Kulfi and vanillic mallow that shift upon the green apple opening drying-down. That's already pretty complex for a gourmand. As it stands, it's doing really well in high-end stores like Selfridges. Plus, quite a few comments agree with me. In fact, why isn't you comment directed at the OP? Read his ok?
Hi Robes08, Oajan copied Ambre Narguile and in 2020 Angels' Share copied them both in a prettier bottle. So if I have Angels' Share no need for Ambre Narguile?
I love both Ambre Narguile and Oajan , but to me Oajan is a better fragrances.It's richer , fuller - i get better projection,sillage and longevity , and it's cheaper.Sold my Ambre Narguile bottle right after i got my 1st bottle of Oajan...on my 2nd one right now. SOTD vintage Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme
$224 at Max Aroma. They have a 30% off discount . That’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen it. Maybe u see it cheaper on eBay BUT u also may get scammed and sent a fake if u buy from eBay.
Does anyone find any similarity between this fragrance with the mix of cherry cinnamon note that is prevalent in Hos #1 by House of Sillage? That one is cherry and there is no cherry in the breakdown. One of the most complimented I own. I have wanted Oajan ...
This stuff is the truth, I purchased it when I finished my 100ml Ambre narguile with them being similar, i got josier ambre tabac too which is similar but better imho, stronger and richer than oajan and narguile, pretty much half the price too :)
I do own full bottles of Oajan and Ambre Tabac - love both , but no way Ambre Tabac is on pair with Oajan.Stronger and richer? Different leagues on my skin- i don't get even half of the projection,sillage and longevity i'm getting from Oajan.I have to overspray every time i'm using it.And no-it's not olfactory fatigue and my bottle is not fake.Bought it from www.danieljosier.co.uk
Yeah, i find Ambre Tabac more potent on my skin, i think oajan projects more and leaves more sillage but AT has better longevity for me, it’s maybe more concentrated than oajan.
Way Way to expensive to be a signature scent! But hope i like this like Layton...Layton Ex....Habdan.....Carlisle....Pegasus.....Herod...These i have and love next is Oajan!
Never vouched for Narguile; too cherry alomnd-icing overdose of sweet, shades of that thick, honeyed B2B Same almondy Apple pie theme. Fore me: 5/10; Swift Pass. Sorry. Gourmand still has to be SDV or the rare chocolate one from SLutens
Parfums de Marly has REFORMULATED Oajan. I own an older formulation which has an alcohol concentration of 78%. The new formulation I see in stores has 82% alcohol and does not have 3 ingredients found in the batches that have 78% alcohol. The missing ingredients are: Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate & Ethylhexyl Salicylate. The new formulation does not last as long and it smells different. Parfums de Marly fragrances are ALWAYS getting reformulated and become much weaker than their ORIGINAL releases. Parfums de Marly HAS NOT been transparent when it comes to the reformulation of their fragrances. Herod, Layton & Carlisle have also been reformulated and have 3%-4% more alcohol in newer batches.
The reformulation killed most of the perfumes, all except one - Oajan. In case of Oajan the reformulation has improved and refined it. Toned down the too pungent spices. It was cloying. Crued. As if it wasn't perfectly blended. However, now it is even closer to its master - Ambre Narguile. This is the only perfume I know of that has been refined by its reformulation. I had the old version, and sold it completely full. I am going to buy the new version soon.
