Beautiful smell. It is described as Oriental but this could put people off. I don't particularly find it too oriental. This would appeal to women and men who like Ysatis by Yves St Laurent or Narcisso Rodriguez. In my opinion anyway. I love this scent. It's soft, romantic and comforting. I first tried it in cold weather but it's best in warm condition. Lasts much longer and smells stronger. I personally can't smell any of the citrusy fruits and the vanilla is a soft one, acting as a link between all the ingredients. Amazingly well blended as all the AKAF perfume oils. It would work very well on a man as well as a woman. Top quality. Personally makes me feel very womanly. Although it's soft, it's got a strength of character that makes it stand out. Suitable for office wear as it's really not offensive. Magnificent!

This is very interesting. It was a shoot in the dark and my first try at this house. Definitely a good experience once the samples rested a couple of days (that's all it took). This one is tropical oud. That's really the best explanation. As the notes pyramid says, it's the oud and Ylang-Ylang that are the stars of the show. It lasts quite a long time and dries down fairly linear. But it's so gorgeous, who cares? A super take on tropical. Very well might find it's way onto my want list.

This fragrance for me started with a burst of cologne, followed by sharp green Citrus, Oud and the Wood notes. Once my skin warmed to the perfume I could pick out notes of Bergamot, Rose, Musk and Amber. Smells too Masculine for my personal tastes but is still a wonderful oil from this amazing brand. I need to mix it with one of my more floral oils to round out the edges of the sharp notes. Lasts a good 8 hours at arms length and I can still smell it on my skin the next morning.

Great attar this one. Really nice fruity sweet oud just wish it would last longer. I have been wearing this alot recently in the summer time and get 3-6 hours performance, sillage is a bit soft also on this one but its such a great summer scent.

This is very similar to "Tunisian Sandalwood" from Attar Bazaar. A very soapy, powdery, floral perfume that is firmly anchored with a woody base, with musk weaving in and out. It's very much a conventionally "Oriental" fragrance. When a Western person typically thinks "Oriental" perfume, this is what comes to mind. It's a very beautiful, very wearable, very clean, very attractive aroma. It just might be too powdery for some.
