Kuumba Made Egyptian Musk Fragrance Oil, Long-Lasting Scented Oil Perfume Roller, Vegan, Alcohol-Free, 0.5 Fl Oz Fl Oz

Last year, I bought the famed Egyptian Musk from Auric Blends expecting all kinds of bliss as the reviews constantly painted. I did not know what to expect, but I got a bottle that had no scent from the bottle but required being warmed up by your body. When it was warmed up, the scent was pretty musky indeed and I suppose I did like it, but it wasn't a scent I felt I could passionately rave about like so many others could. Recently, I discovered I got a couple of comments on that review saying I have received a watered down version that no longer resembles the original scent that so many raved about and Auric Blends is cutting costs and cheapening their product. A lot of the reviews during and after the time of my review had those same sentiments as the comments. I saw many times that reviewers were recommended they turn to KUUMBA MADE EGYPTIAN MUSK as a replacement because it strongly resembles the original Auric Blends scent. So out of curiosity I ordered this! Finally I received it and sniffed it from the bottle and wow! What a pleasant scent! It's musky yet it's a clean kind of musk. Almost powdery. When I put it on me, it strangely gains a cinnamon-like scent (my chemistry?) and it's really nice, I have to say! I actually wear this one daily because it is that much more pleasurable. It's musky, clean, and on me, slightly sweet! I didn't even touch the Auric Blends one after a week of trying to really like it. Yet here I am wearing this one every day. I know what everyone's raving about now. :D People who hug me can't help but sniff me!

Update, Feb 8, 2018... I returned the bottle I reviewed earlier (below) and then bought a new one...it was just as horrible, so I'll be returning this new bottle, too. And it'll be a long time before I try and buy this Egyptian musk oil by Kuumba...Idk what happened...I've been buying this product from Amazon for YEARS!!!! I REALLY hope the same thing doesn't happen w their Persian garden and vanilla musk!!! I really wish I could have reported SUCCESS w this most recent bottle, but whatever little smell there is just smells awful. Buyer beware!!! ***FYI…under NORMAL circumstances, I would be giving this product 5 stars…MORE if possible!!! However - and I have NO idea what happened - I very sadly HAVE to give it a ONE!!!!! Here is why: I have been using Kuumba perfume oils for many years, and I LOVE them!!!! They are the ONLY perfume I EVER wear, for many wonderful reasons. Until now, I have ALWAYS been completely satisfied with the MANY Kuumba oils I have purchased here on Amazon over the years. The two Kuumba scents I wear the most are Egyptian musk (cool/cold weather) and Persian garden (warm/hot weather), but I also get their vanilla musk (for cool/warm weather or to mix with the Egyptian musk) and Arabian sandalwood (for the December Holidays!) just to mix things up a bit. I also recently bought a small bottle of their lavender lace, just to try it out…it's really pretty and put it on my wrists sometimes in the evenings when it's time to relax. So as you can see, I truly am a happy and loyal Kuumba customer!!! Well, anyway…back to the sad part of the story…this review is about a bottle of Egyptian musk that I purchased on 12/10/17 and received a few days later. AND OH NO…IT SMELLS HORRIBLE!!!! It isn't just that it doesn't smell like Egyptian musk (which it doesn't, not even a little)...it just actually smells BAD. I think the best way to express it is that it smells like it somehow spoiled…perhaps it's just old, or maybe it’s been stored in extreme heat (or cold?) or...well, I don't even know what, but it is NOT a scent I wish to wear!!! My husband - who always LOVES the way I smell - came home from work and literally said, "Ohhh…what's that smell??" Seriously, I'm not kidding. He said it almost immediately upon saying hello to me (I had put some on as soon as I got it...and despite it being so unpleasant, I didn't wash it off bc I wanted to see if he'd notice. He did.), so I knew I wasn't imagining it. Idk if it's this particular bottle - or maybe even the entire batch from which this bottle came - of Kuumba’s Egyptian musk that smells bad like this, but I will definitely be returning this particular bottle. However, I will happily buy another one in the meantime bc this really is a wonderful product, and I have faith that this was just a one-time blooper. And I better hurry up bc I just finished the last drops of my old - and normal-smelling - bottle, and it feels strange not to smell like…me!!! 😱😜🤗

I’m a big fan of this Egyptian musk oil. It smells incredible, rolls on so luxuriously and softly and the fragrance lasts so much longer than traditional perfume. I get compliments on it all of the time. One of my favorite beauty buys! If you love vanilla or musk this is the brand! Also a great bargain for the price!

I love this Egyptian musk, but it isn't what I received. I was sent the black coconut, which I really like too, so I didn't send it back. The Egyptian musk is a warm but light scent. Not too strong.

Not for me, but very nice scent that lasts awhile. It seemed a bit closing to me, but my chemistry may be the issue. I could not tolerate due to scent sensitivity.

I absolutely love the scent of this oil and so does my husband ☺️. I loved it so much I bought an addition two bottles and will continue to buy from this seller.

A friend was wearing this and it was love at first scent. She wore it while we played golf, and it was so pretty and light, I caught whiffs of it over the 4 hours, I had to try it. I ordered it and what I got from Amazon looks like hers, (she bought hers in a retail shop) but the scent quality/longevity not the same. When I first opened it I was thrilled, but by the second use I could barely smell it. I thought the roller was blocked, maybe I had a cold, but after 30 days it’s not any better. Pretty disappointing, would not order again.

The most amazing fragrance in the whole wide world !!! - IF it is the REAL THING !!! I have come to realise that this fragrance oil loses scent after a few uses. I got to a quarter of the way through my bottle and it now smells of nothing! NO SCENT! The company who dispatched this to me kindly offered me another bottle for free, but they had no explanation for this. The new bottle given to me has no scent either! So, what is going on here then KUUMBA? This is your product and it is not right. I am most disappointed and still waiting to hear from you! Kuumba Made, Fragrance Oil, Pikake Lei, 0.5 oz (14.7 ml)

Un muschio con base ambrata che mi piace molto. Non è il profumo che fa per voi se cercate qualcosa che proietti, che lasci la scia. Se invece amate le fragranze che restano vicino a chi le indossa, lo consiglio. Buona la persistenza, su di me intorno alle 6 ore.

If you want a good oil to rub in your armrest or inner corners, this product is amazing, I recommend this one to carry on in your small bag or pocket, check size before purchasing

I love this scent. I have been using it for a while and have to use more than I normally would as the scent is so subtle.

It smells awful and when I returned it with the return information that I got from Amazon, the company refused to refund me saying that I didn’t return it to the correct address. Seriously. Don’t waste your money.
