Incredible scent. Extremely high quality. So far, it's my most complimented fragrance. Has a lot of depth to it as well, the scent develops very nicely the longer it sits. Feminine leaning unisex fragrance. Lasts forever and projects very loudly, even 2-3 sprays can be enough. The only issue is that it has some subtle animalic/fecal notes, and for some people, it's not so subtle. On my skin and clothes it basically vanished. On my friend, it was very noticeable. I think on the people it works on, it works very well, as those notes give it depth, but it's a massive deal breaker for others. So I would say it's not a safe blind buy if you think that might bother you, better to smell it in the store first or get a decant. I don't want this to push anyone away, as I think this is genuinely a masterpiece by Ahmed Al Maghribi. Bottle is only 60ml but lasts for a long time as you don't need many sprays, I think 1 on each collar and 1 behind the neck is enough for basically everyone (3 sprays total). Comes with a nice pressurized atomizer as well. Packaging is very nice and can make a great gift. Alhamdulillah, it's very nice, will purchase it again, Insha'Allah.

So i was waiting for years to get this fragrance, the reason it stopped me from buying is because my broke a$$ coudnt afford 60 ml for 175 aed ($47.65), I get so annoyed when people call this a cheap fragrance, whereas its price is similar to Stronger With You by Armani, which isn’t cheap. Finally, after so many years, I found this fragrance on a Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer. I already knew how it smelled, which is why I was so eager to buy this masterpiece. I don’t really need to go into detail describing this fragrance, as it is already widely popular on social media. Basically, it’s a floral, ambery scent with sweet honey and a touch of smooth oud — that’s it. The longevity is easily 9 to 12 hours, and it stays on your clothes for weeks. It’s a head-turning fragrance and an absolute compliment getter. People said to me that this fragrance smells like a true Arab fragrance — a mix of Middle Eastern and French perfumery. Absolutely love this fragrance. Nothing more to say.

So, I already have Paris Corner Khair and this is a much less aggressive version of that fragrance and because of that, it's much better as well...even easier to wear even though it's extremely strong with its projection and longevity. Nothing about this fragrance is challenging for me but then again I've been collecting for some years and have more challenging scents such as some Dehn Al Ouds. The trick is to find the right number of sprays and where to spray so I don't become agnosmic and annoy the hell outta those around me. The notes I got on first impressions are leather, saffron, honey, orange blossom, and jasmine. This fragrance changes up several times as it drys down making it interesting from start to finish. The hype is warranted with this one. Will return in a few weeks for a full review.

An absolutely phenomenal fragrance that can be a signature scent for lovers of oud and fruity perfumes. I stumbled upon this by accident, and my God did I fall in love with it after the dry down. An interesting observation for me is that Ahmed Al Maghribi is making high quality blends that sort of bridges the Middle Eastern fragrances with the niche perfumes at an affordable price. They don't focus on making dupes, rather create something that stands on it's own. There's character in their blends. I've noticed this perfume to transition in a very smooth manner that reminds me of perfumes priced much, much higher. There's no wonder Middle Eastern fragrances are becoming so popular when we are seeing constant quality and performance at an affordable price.

Absolutely the longest lasting fragrance I've come into contact with. Very complex. The opening is a piercing berry fabric softener with a hit of oud and a bit of incense and after ~10 hours it dries down to pure leather which ive come to appreciate as lovely - think fancy car seat. Leather drydown has stayed on my hoodie for a week, smells amazing to me now. Gets a lot of different reactions: I thought the opening smelled like wine at one point, my dad thought I'd been drinking beer when I had this on, someone else smelled chewing tobacco, and my friend who only wears designer frags said it smelled clean. Again, VERY Complex. Hauntingly strong longevity and beastmode projection. Is it fun to douse yourself with: Don't even try
