Kuhuyan is one of the worser fragrances I’ve sampled from this house. The opening boasts a heady, pungent Arabian-esque aroma.That can be described as slightly resinous, woody-spicy presence, with something of an animalic floral overtone to it (such as a female fragrance with a masculine lean to). Great style to center around for a top shelf fragrance, but very poor execution here, as this is a majorly unenjoyable as an obvious parody.

In this, Kuhuyan is soft and dense; the notes of Violet leaf, Jasmine, Leather, Heliotrope, and Oud come through very strong. Kuhuyan is vigorous with the Heliotrope, Jasmine, and Oud. These notes are very apparent as the others are there to give foundation.
Kuhuyan is soft, almost baby powdery-like. As in other Parfums de Marly fragrances, usually the Oud stands on center stage as with the other combining notes, however with Kuhuyan the Heliotrope and Jasmine are center stage with the Oud and Leather adding a nice addition.
I think this is a nice addition to anyone’s wardrobe, however, very different than what this line is known for producing.
Believe it or not, this reminds me of a softer version of Amouage Gold Man, from the powderiness due to the Heliotrope and Oud combo.
Pass (especially since I have Amouage’s Gold Man)!

Woah. This stuff is great! Someone below wrote that it was the best leather-based fragrance he’s ever smelled….and I must agree (or at least one of the best)! I think the reason this may not be one of the more popular PDM’s is because it takes leather fragrances to a whole new direction, which some people may not be ready for. It’s a pleasant, kind leather that shows no offense. The sillage and longevity are both great. Gets me through the entire day and I can still smell it afterwards.

They have likely been reformulated. I bought a new Herod and it didn’t last at all. When I checked again, The tester at the store had an older batch number and smelled slightly different too, lasted longer. A couple of people have said the same to me.

بوی گلی در این عطر خیلی نیست ولی بنظرم اولین کار این برند هست که بوی گلی داره. در مجموع خیلی جالب نیست و اولین کار مارلی هست که خوشم نیومده بقیه کارهایش رو خیلی دوست دارم
. بوی ساقه ی گلهایی رو میده که در حال خشک شدن هستند. بعد از مدتی هم بویی شبیه لوازم آرایش بوجود میاد. بیشتر هم زنونه هست تا مردانه

I think that this is the first perfume of marly brand that have floral scent. I like most of the perfumes of this brand, but this one is the second perfume that I didn’t like (First one is Pegasus). Kuhuyan have a scent of stems that is converted to be dried! After this scent, it turned to scent of cosmetic product…

I can’t bring mysef to write a full review. On the paper strip in store, this was signature scent worthy and I almost bought a bottle right then and there. I sprayed some on my skin and left with a sample. Several wears later all I have to say is this: I will never buy this.
It smells 100% different on flesh as it does on paper. Boring and stale on skin. It loses all projection after 30 minutes to an hour, and leaves a dirty sweaty-waistband-bandaid scent as a dry-down. I couldn’t be more disappointed if I tried.
Completely vanishes after two to three hours.
Ive got 5 or 6 more PDM’s to long-term test before I’ve officially tried the entire catalog of PDM but I don’t have high hopes. Safanad and Pegasus are the only ones that last at all.
Yes I’m including Herod as a disappointment.
The house has projection and longevity issues across the board and for these prices it is just plain unacceptable. Totally overrated house.

I echo many of the sentiments expressed below about this fragrance and Marly in general. They are all pretty excellent fragrances minus a couple just for taste reasons but like any house they do have a style and it seems to tend towards the warm and oriental. I found myself stuck between this, Oajan and Herod (eventually opting for Oajan) because they were all very good. I suspect like with Oajan secrets and extra nuances will be released on further inspection I’ve no doubt but even without that insight, I instantly fell for Kuhuyan.
Helitrope and I don’t really get on but this is a delightful blend of an almond/vanillin/suede and woods…probably the best way to describe it. The heart notes are pleasantly floral and slightly powdery violet and base is tonka and warm amber and again…probably oud?
This is a true composition with nothing over stepping it’s bounds and actually making for quite a tame fragrance. These elements don’t spring to mind as being my favourite but undoubtedly work together. Quality is good, longevity is a bit lacking but I’d definitely like to try it again.

Leather animalic and white flowers…. I like much but the longevity is no good 4-5 hours

I have not found a scent of the maison “Parfums de Marly” that make me scream to masterpiece. They are all well groomed, have good ingredients but they resemble one another. Even “Kuhuyan” does not exceed, is nice but I would not spend so much money for it.

IMHO this is the best leather scent I have ever encountered ,soft, fresh and mesmerizing scent that makes you feel like a prince .
Mogunov – :
This was a huge disappointment. I really wanted to like it and was really looking forward to it, especially since I adore Hamdani. Kuhuyan is a pale, timid offering that is considerably more in the European perfume tradition than in the Middle-eastern one. Kuhuyan strikes me as a lighter, leaner version of Cuir Cordoba by Keiko Mecheri, which I find cloying and clumsily coquettish. Yes there is oud and some leather (suede) here, but mainly I pick up floral, sweetish notes that are entirely too modest and insipid. If you want something safe and shy, you’re good to go with this. If you want something distinct and bold, move on.

A rather dark opening, with the Oud, leather and florals combining into a moderately new and intriguing scent. This disappears within the hour (I’d say half but want to give it some credit) leaving a rather bland floral behind. The dry down you will get to enjoy (or not) for the next two hours before it is barely noticeable. Not worth the money.
Overall: 2/5
Scent: Opening 3, drydown 2/5
Longevity: 1.5/5
Projection: 1/5
