Khashab is Arabic for
wood. But in the realm of scents it generally refers to
Frankincense, and occasionally Oud. This blend incorporates
both of these ingredients, and also includes essential oils
extracted from other woods.
I had been toying with the idea of creating an all-wood
blend for a while, and it finally bore fruition in the form
of Khashab.
'Woody' is, naturally, the best way to describe this parfum.
All the ingredients in this blend came from trees*. No
florals or any other essential oils, and of course, no
synthetics.
It's all about tree resins, tars, woods, woods and more
woods.
The scent of Khashab is very dynamic. Not only is it very
complex and deep due to the very nature of wood extracts,
but it actually smells different in different settings. So
you might find it sweeter indoors and crisper outdoors, more
creamy-woody when its warm and rugged when its cold. Khashab
contains actual liquified resins aside from essential oils,
and therefore changes in temperature is one of the easiest
(and fun!) ways to enjoy different facets of this oil.
Rugged, dry and woody - be sure to always keep your bottle
close at hand to satisfy your wood crave.
*some non-tree-derived ingredients were used in the
tincture base (tonka bean, absinthe, etc.) to fit the
aroma into a perfume structure.
I liked ( Khashab ) a fresh
summer perfume , notes of luban hajari, with woody notes
and a wonderful lemon touch I loved him so much.

This was more of a surprise for me! When I hear only woods
or no florals or citrus notes, I suspect a very dark
resinous composition - Khashab was far lighter and
brighter than I expected! I find this one really hard to
break down due to its excellent blending and uniqueness.
My feeling is there is a copious amount of
coniferous/cedar material here giving it plenty of
freshness and brightness, probably with frankincense
lending it some citrus nuances. There is also something
contributing to an almost herbal woody bitterness
restrained with sufficient sweetness which adds another
dimension and interest. I would like to say I detect the
sandalwood, oud etc., but for now I need to explore this
more! A really unique wood-based composition that I look
forward to wearing throughout the year.

I'm loving it! It's sweet & woody. Tons of wood, which
I guess is the whole point of the fragrance, after all....
if you guys are looking for a true woody fragrance, and
one that's all natural to boot! -- look no further than
Khashab. The stuff's awesome.

That was really quick transit this time! I'll let
you know how I go with them, but so far - well I do love
Khashab! It sits a little close to the skin (it is a cold
winter here though) but what a beautiful scent - the notes
are seemlessly combined and I really like the sweetness.

The Kashab is just too soothing and has been my constant
companion for the winter

Khashab seems to me what one ought to expect from anything
called "Oud Wood." Yes, I'm pointing my finger at Tom
Ford, whose immensely popular Oud Wood falls very short of
appealing for me. However, Taha's creation really marries
those two words in this creation: the oud is very
prominent and yet it's woody. In fact, it smells to me
like the extracts of woods and the frankincense added are
just subtly done in such a way as to bring out the woody
elements of the oud oil he used, which to me smells like
Borneo...

Smells foresty... its very relaxing.

It's a wood lovers dream come true!
