    I am a 63 year old woman just learning about Arabic (I hope this is the correct way to say it) notes, accords, and fragrances. This is thanks to you Simin! Your personality is so honest, and authentic, and it's obvious that you know what you're talking about!
    I blind bought shaghaf oud abyad almost 2 months ago. Holy smoke did I ever dislike it!
    Now something has happened. I don't know whether to me, or the bottle, or both, but I'm now so intrigued by this smoky, oud thing going on. I wear this when I'm at home alone, or sometimes when I go for walks. I live in Canada on Vancouver Island, so walking in the forest is almost surreal sometimes. I hope the bears, and cougars, and wolves don't become curious!
    I think I've become a secret oud lover somehow ❤

    I have Shaghaf Oud Abyad in my collection for a while now (older bottle with arabic writing) but wore it maybe twice only. I liked it but always thought its not very wearable but it was all in my head. Just sprayed it again on my hand and im wondering why i had negative thoughts about its wearability. Its gorgeous! Also, i was thinking of buying Ana Abyedh Leather and i just picked up on the similarities between the two. Sure enough, you brought it up aswell! Truth be told, i think Shaghaf Oud Abyad is winter only while Ana Abyedh Leather i could wear it in the spring, autumn and colder summer days.
    By the way, Ana Abyedh Leather is a Memo Irish Leather clone.

      Woah! An LOTR Fan I see ❤ ❤ ❤ (Aniron playing in the background). And a Potterhead via DP ❤
      I think I think Shaghaf Oud Abyad on first try feels like a shock! I was shocked at its rawness and boldness. It is so stunning when you start wearing it, especially on the skin.
      I never thought about the season, but it makes sense though. Ana Abiyedh Leather has a coolness about it.
      I was so confused between which Memo it was duping so thanks a bunch for letting me know ❤
