Fabrice Pellegrin

"Hamdani is a dark, resinous Eau de Parfum centered on frankincense, myrrh, leather, woods, and balsamic sweetness. Its opening is intense and challenging, with an animalic, medicinal edge created by the combination of incense materials and dark leather. As it develops, guaiac wood, cloves, honey, tobacco, and resins bring greater warmth and roundness. The drydown is dense, smoky, leathery, and woody, with benzoin and styrax adding a deep balsamic character. It is one of the more unconventional and polarizing releases in the Parfums de Marly range rather than a conventionally crowd-pleasing scent. Hamdani was released in 2013 and is now regarded as a discontinued collector-oriented fragrance."

Reviews Summary

“Hamdani is highly polarizing. The opening is frequently described as harsh, medicinal, animalic, or stable-like, while the later development is praised by some enthusiasts as a rich, complex, cozy, and underrated combination of dry woods, honey, tobacco, leather, and balsamic resins. Others find it too off-putting and unwearable for regular use.”
