Arabian Gems

Arabian Gems is Great Juice from Afnan Perfumes. Its Sweet Floral Fruity are Words to Describe it. Gorgeous Fig Scent. Very much a Summer & Spring Fragrance, Bright, Sweet, Fresh, Clean Scent. This Fragrance is Absolutely Amazing. Grapefruit and Fig with a Nutty Dry Down. Projection, Longevity & Presentation are Good. Bottle is Crafted Well & Sprayer pours are decent amount of juice. If you like Fresh Figs and are looking for something different for Summer wear, I recommend this fragrance. It resembles Fico di Amalfi from Acqua Di Pharma. My Rating is 3.75 out of 5.

The lure of water notes in the introductory echoes connect with oriental spices in the lead with hints of pepper and a stylish deep orange Afrikana . Adds slightly warm and creamy vanilla to create a charming combination with rare trees and tenderly sensual musk echoing softness . Wave herbal subtlety comes to us with green violet leaves. Guaiac wood with its sweet track merges with tonka bean and warm up the whole fragrant composition . In conclusion fullest purity irresistible seduction unfolds playfulness musk.

I wanted to scrub off the first spray too, @TheFragrantPrince. But I sprayed again to give the fragrance a chance and try to understand it. I can't detect any citrus notes here. It starts fruity sweet with a hint of coconut, then becomes super floral with a slight aquatic touch, then settles to a vanilla heavy musky base. It's quite a strong scent. Lasts for hours and hours. I'm usually a heavy sprayer but I can't do that with this one. The projection in the first hour is INSANE. It can definitely choke people out. I don't think should be worn in high heat. It'll get super cloying. Rainy fall days and cool spring evenings are the best times for this fragrance. I think many men, myself included, would find this feminine. It's not a bad fragrance. Just nothing ground breaking. 6/10

No! There is certainly no fig in this. I can't imagine Babbs is smelling the same frag. There must've been a reform sometime before the bottle I received was made. This is NOT (NOT EVEN CLOSE TO) a clone of Fico di Amalfi. There's not even a noticeable citrus note here. This is a bad attempt at a gourmand. I get a (brown?) food note, not a pleasant one either. I had to scrub this instantly. Maybe Babbs meant Fecal di Amalfi...

I found this perfume on an inflight catalogue listed for women, with the following description: AfNAN araBIan gems BLUe - eDP 100mL created for the woman who likes to get noticed, be the center of attraction and is strong and confident; true to the characteristics of a gem. This intense oriental fragrance has top notes of pink pepper, elegant heart of african orange flower on warm and creamy base notes of vanilla tonka bean and benzoin for an appealing and glamorous perfume.
