Adwaa Al Sharq

Very similar to Ajmal - Aristocrat for Her, but I think this oil lasts longer on skin. Aristocrat, which comes in EdP form, doesn't really last on skin (or I'm getting anosmic to it, I don't know). I can still smell this one intensively, though, even after couple of hours. Very nice, sweet, woody, spicy (with a tiny bit of saltiness to it), definitely has that BR540 vibe to it, but it's like sweet oranges and wood. It's very addictive, I can't stop smelling my wrists. It comes in a beautiful bottle and the box is very nice, too. The projection is quite good. I think I'm going to use this one my skin while I will keep using Aristocrat on my clothes, as this one is oil and thus can't be used on clothes. UPDATE: actually, this is more similar to BR Extrait, mainly due to the sweet juicy orange vibe which I don't smell in the former BR.

Very hard to describe. After reading the reviews i guess my parfum is not the same as yours, maybe mine has a ingredients problem. My Adwaa, il a oil that when we open it, it has no fragrance. When i put it on my skin, i do a massage do absorb, and there it comes a very special frangrance, very soft, creamy, cozy, a little bit sweet...i would say it has the same odor has the money notes... About the sillage, this is a perfume to yourself, you can feel it in yourself everytime you move, has it has a type of fragrance waves that becomes from yourself to your nose, surprisingly! Someone that puts the head on your shoulder or kiss your cheek, will feel it and it is like an hipnose, it stops the time, the smell is very interesting and captivating i would say afrodisiac too.

Warm, spicy, creamy, caramel, vanilla. This beautiful attar is a beast. I bought this from an arab store in my city based off first waft and the bottle. This store always carries the best fragrances so I had no doubt about the quality or value. This fragrance is a warm creamy amber. Not gourmand, but certainly get hints of a creamy delicious vanilla caramel. The most prominent notes you will get are amber, cream and a spiced note (saffron). A slight jasmine peaks through and I personally love to layer this with a more delicious gourmand, maybe a vanilla lotion and a Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme. My star performer and one of my all time favourite attars! The whole room will smell you and all eyes will be on you.

Thank you so much, @TatianaChoco! I didn't think "amber" and "spices" (which is all that Fragrantica lists) really described this fragrance very well. The note profile you provided is much better; I can detect every one of those things. I just received this today, and I'm absolutely reveling in it. It's lovely unto itself, yeah, but I think it will be STELLAR as a layering fragrance with a whole host of other things. (I have it, on one wrist, under Asdaaf's Majdal Sultan right now, and it's so gorgeously transporting and beautiful that I'm about to pass out.) Not for sissies, though - especially in warm weather. People who like things that smell fresh and modern for summer won't like this little powerhouse at all.

Adwaa Al Sharq is a perfectly balanced amber and soft spicy slightly gourmand oil. Very ambery. The opening is feminine, elegant, and warm, but sadly disappears rapidly. The drydown is soft and cosy and remains close to skin but very agreeable. I applied 2 drops on each arm and a hint of the beautiful fragrance stayed in the fabric of my sleeves for a couple of days. It is a very addictive perfume, I can't stop reapplying. Already repurchased a second bottle. It is difficult to compare it with any other perfume. This is a fragrance to please yourself, not the crowd around You. Beautiful presentation.

To me is not exactly a dupe of BR540,more like inspired by,is more warm and ambery since it doesnt have the Saffron.The opening is similar to Opulent Musk by Lattafa in my opinion,after that is similar to BR540.Its still a nice oil,smells good and I will use it for layering. On me after 2 hours the smell is not very strong...So idk how other people get 12 hours of this...maybe with layering? The projection is really strong in the first hour,I love the smell in the air. It was a blind buy for me,but it was worth it.I recoomend it.

If you're looking for a great introduction into perfume oils, search no more. It smells absolutely incredible (i get this musk mixed with warm spices), layers with perfumes very well (I've found, that it resonates best with Alien Goddess and Linterdit Rouge) and you get so much worth for the small price. It lasts you an eternity, the sillage is good ( it does not fill a room, but leaves a nice trail of scent as you move) as well as the longevity. I don't normally write reviews, but this has blown my mind into different reality.

Having worn this both in cold and hot weather, my conclusion is that if you want the BR540 DNA for the hotter days, this is a good option for a few reasons: - in hot weather that metallic edge that it has in the cold turns into a creamy-fruity sweetness - in the hotter days it projects more and it also lasts with it being an oil - this is mostly for applying on skin as it is an oil, so it makes sense wearing this in the heat as you will have more skin exposed to apply on Hope this helps! Take care and cheers!

This is one of my first perfumes oils I bought: the amber and the warm spicy notes are strong and almost combined, on top is noticeable especially on skin the saffron, weakly the jasmin but I can't sense strangely the caramel at all, on the skin leave some "animalic" notes, musk and amberwood notes are more prominent on the skin too It last seriously long time (more than 8 hours), the sillage is moderated-high in my opinion Highly suggested, I spent 20$ on it and are not wasted at all

A BR40 inspired by perfume oil without a clinical saffron or anosmic scent quality. On my skin it smells sweet, almost as if there were ripe dates, it has a ton of creamy musk, saffron, some cedarwood in the dry down (that makes it somewhat unisex although sweet), amber, some woody element and caramel. This satisfies my sweet tooth cravings when they arise. This oil tends to overpower other fragrances when I attempt to layer so I don't.

I’m a blokes bloke but I wear anything I want I don’t really give a sheeeet it it’s smells pure girly and I like it . I will wear it I love all fragrances and I just don’t think about. Male or female I love this scent rub it on my chest and wrists. And I’m ready rock haha last for hours on my skin Last for days in material and it’s cheap as chips It’s a winner for me

This parfums oil surprised me! I definitely get the association with BR540 (or it’s dupes), but this fragrance is softer, more rounded, and has a strong amber in it. I personally think it might be more wearable than BR540 because of this (less of a “dentist” or “hospital” smell that some people hate). Considering the price it’s at least worth a shot!

When I first tested it, it was before going to bed. When my husband entered the bedroom he said the whole room smelled of this perfume oil, he thought I had spilled it somewhere, but I only applied it to my wrists and neck. Although it is an oil, it has a very strong, long-lasting and pleasant aroma. Love it! It is definitely a hidden gem.

Afnan presents: the Baccaratizer! Turn any fragrance into a BR540 twist! All you have to do is apply the Baccaratizer before any fragrance and youre good to go! (It does smell slightly more dentist-y than other dupes tbh, but its still lovely and the bottle is 🫡🤍)

For me personally, it's a fabulous, intriguing, mysterious, and passionate fragrance. It reminds me of a bouquet of fresh soap and honey. I find it a wonderfully refreshing and deeply enveloping combination. In my opinion, men can also wear it without hesitation.

Basically a concentrated version of Oud for Glory. I paid 1/4 for this one, which actually lasts longer. However, it has a salty vibe that comes out from the animalic note (synthetic oud I assume)

Meeen how beautiful and woahhhh this parfum oil its incredible soft but strong sweet but not diabetes:)) Ithas everything what I wanted....that's it 100000/10

This perfume is pure amber heaven! It's so warm and inviting, perfect for cooler evenings. I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear it.

This smells a lot like Voyage Festif Reyane Tradition only a little bit cleaner. It's absolutely wonderful

Bought it only €10.50. I get compliments from my husband every time I wear this.
