Description
“The British East India Company acquired the gem and sold it to the British Jeweller Rundell and Bridge in 1818, when it was re-cut for the handle of the 1st Marquis of Westminster’s dress sword. American jeweller Harry Winston transformed the diamond to its present, exquisite, emerald-cut shape in 1940 and the Nassak Diamond has since been sold to an American trucking magnate in 1970 for £500,000 and is believed to be currently owned by Rober Mouawad.
Nassak belies the cool, blue colour of the diamond, instead reflecting the depth and dazzling light contained within the stone. The scent opens with a bright, glowing, opulent combination of Taif rose and saffron, warm yet iridescent – the ultimate extravagance. This segues seamlessly into a glossy heart of plum – the bitter-sweetness a perfect balance for sparkling cedar and the fizz of sandalwood. At the base, a gilded triumvirate of vanilla, tonka and musk cushion the scent on a pillow, deep and textured – and finally the merest echo of ambergris” — press release of the brand. Nassak was launched in 2014.

Aleccsei, oh there’s DEFINITELY oud in here! For sure! This note pyramid is way off! Hopefully it won’t turn people away because Nassak is so gorgeous!
BTW, I was just talking to a friend and we figured out that it has a strong resemblance to Boadicea Blue Sapphire. Only Nassak is a bit sweeter.

Thank you to ‘215alive’ for the pyramid.
I told the young lady at the Thameen Corner, that there is oud in this fragrance – but she insisted, that there wasn’t any. And I get the similarity to ‘Oud Ispahan’

Strong opening, masculine and the sandalwood is making a great appearance 🙂 for my husband it could be nice but not for me!

This is Oud Palao without the oud. A very good fragrance for this genre with the fervor of a rodeo bull. While sniffing, images of pink wood comes to mind. Your loofah is no match for the longevity of this fragrance and your quietude is no match for the compliments you’ll receive. The predominate note radiating from my skin is not actually a note at all, it’s a tobacco accord laced with a ton of pink pepper. Thameen’s entire line is very very problematic to bank accounts.
