The Fragrance Profile
Al Hashimi Laos 90 is a unisex fragrance by Al Hashimi, created for those who appreciate the expressive character of oud and Eastern depth.
The composition belongs to the woody and oriental fragrance families, giving it a rich, warm and noticeable character.
The perfume is part of the Al Atiq Vintage Oud collection, dedicated to the character and multifaceted nature of oud compositions.
The name Laos 90 draws attention to its distinctive olfactory direction: Laotian oud, known for its dense woody profile and expressive Eastern character.
Character and Scent
The defining feature of Al Hashimi Laos 90 is its monolithic concept built around oud.
There is no information about a division into top, heart and base notes, so the fragrance is best understood as a unified oud accord that gradually unfolds on the skin while retaining its recognizable woody foundation.
Laotian oud smells deep, resinous and restrainedly luxurious.
It creates the image of a fragrance with a strong personality: this is not a light everyday spray, but a rich Eastern composition for moments when you want to make an impression without obvious sweetness or floral lightness.
Concentration and Sillage
Laos 90 is released as an oil perfume.
This concentration naturally emphasizes the density of the oud character, while the fragrance's stated sillage is classified as “very strong”. The composition is therefore especially well suited to those who enjoy distinctive, long-lasting fragrances.
Specific recommendations regarding the number of applications to the skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
A practical approach is to start with a minimal amount and assess how it develops on your own skin: oud oil perfumes can smell particularly intense, and their character changes noticeably depending on the temperature and the type of surface.
Who Will Enjoy This Fragrance
Despite its unisex positioning, Al Hashimi Laos 90 does not aim to be neutral or discreet.
It will appeal to women and men who enjoy woody oriental compositions, appreciate a naturally rendered oud accent and choose perfume as an expressive element of their style.
The fragrance is suitable for evenings, cool weather and situations where a strong sillage feels natural.
It should be used with particular caution in an office or a small enclosed space, while on a walk, at a special occasion or during a meeting, it can accentuate the wearer's confident style.
