Bogue MAAI Extrait De Parfum (50ml)

Best chypre blind buy

This was a blind buy and only SlickBoys seem to have Maai extrait de parfum in stock and it did not disappoint. This is an absolute masterpiece. I love an old school style chypre perfume. The tuck flap opens up with a “earth laughs in flowers”💐 and with a card with “bottle n. 3935” handwritten! Massive shoutout to SlickBoys UK as they were literally the only place online that actually had MAAI in stock after it sold out across Australia and rest of the world. Major bonus point to their website too - it automatically detected my location and checked me out in NZD, making the whole process dangerously easy 😂. I definitely get a dry down of Siam benzoin, sandalwood & ylang ylang but not so much of tuberose and jasmine. It brought me back to my childhood in Kuala Lumpur attending Tamil weddings where the “aunties in beautiful kanchipuram silk sarees smelt exquisite with jasmine & roses in their hair buns.

Beautiful fragrance that is very similar to an 80's perfume I used to wear La Nuit by Paco Rabanne, it smells so similar and bought back very happy memories. The fragrance is long lasting and smells so beautiful, super fast delivery, highly recommend.
