Collection No.4
Formulated by perfumer Mohammed Neemah in 2009, Collection No.4 offers a balanced approach to oriental perfumery tailored for both men and women. Built around a foundation of creamy sandalwood, smoky amber, and clean musk, this fragrance avoids the overly heavy sweetness found in many regional blends. A faint touch of spicy citrus in the opening clears the way for dry woods to dominate the heart. It shines best in cool weather, fitting comfortably into professional work environments, casual weekend coffee runs, or evening dates where subtle projection matters more than room-filling intensity.

As the initial brightness settles, the heart reveals its true character. Resinous amber simmers beneath the cedarwood, giving the composition a warm golden glow. Soft dark oud comes forward after twenty minutes, but it remains strictly in a supporting role. It adds an earthy anchor rather than a barnyard punch. A touch of dry patchouli connects the woods, creating a smooth transition into the mid phase of wear.

EDITORIAL“Ne'emah Collection No.4 Review: A Balanced Oriental Amber”
Collection No.4 by Ne'emah opens with an immediate dry woody snap. Instead of blasting you with heavy medicinal oud, creator Mohammed Neemah starts the presentation with crisp cedarwood and a pale touch of rose. A slight flash of spicy bergamot keeps the top notes bright during the initial five minutes. It feels structured from the first spray, avoiding the harsh synthetic alcohol blast common in mass-market releases.
As the initial brightness settles, the heart reveals its true character. Resinous amber simmers beneath the cedarwood, giving the composition a warm golden glow. Soft dark oud comes forward after twenty minutes, but it remains strictly in a supporting role. It adds an earthy anchor rather than a barnyard punch. A touch of dry patchouli connects the woods, creating a smooth transition into the mid phase of wear.
On warm skin, the amber and musk accords stretch out nicely. The fragrance loses its initial sharp woody edges and softens into a creamy, slightly smoky scent bubble. Humidity pulls out the darker facets of the oud note, while dry indoor heat highlights the clean cedarwood. Unlike loud Middle Eastern scents that stay static for hours, No.4 slowly shifts as your body temperature rises and cools throughout the day.
Performance is reliable without being obnoxious. You get roughly 7 hours of total longevity on skin, with projection staying within arm's length for the first 2 hours. It then pulls back to a cozy skin scent. That restrained sillage makes it surprisingly suitable for office environments during autumn and winter. It also shines on crisp outdoor walks or casual evening dates when you wear a wool sweater or leather jacket.
This perfume bridges the gap for enthusiasts who find traditional Arabian perfumery too intense. Men and women can wear it with equal ease. If your fragrance wardrobe already features heavy gourmands or fresh aquatic scents, Collection No.4 offers a grounded woody alternative. However, hardcore oud purists who want dense, animalic funk might find this composition a bit too polite and stripped back.
Collection No.4 delivers a well-judged balance of amber, cedarwood, and soft musk. It proves that oriental wood fragrances do not need to fill an entire room to make a lasting impression. If you want a versatile cold-weather staple with authentic Middle Eastern roots, grab a sample bottle first to test how the dry woods perform on your skin.
