Gharam

WOW Gharam by @ahwakperfumery stands out as a striking woody aromatic released in 2024 crafted to suit both women and men though to my nose it carries a bold commanding presence that feels undeniably tailored for the man who wants to be noticed. When I first pressed the nozzle and sprayed it on I was immediately met with an intense rush of fresh spicy energy that defines the opening perfectly. Pink pepper leads the charge alongside sharp rosemary and bright juniper berries creating a vibrant herbal kick that projects with incredible force right from the start. There was even a fleeting familiar echo of Rasassi Shuhrah in the air reminding me of that crisp tomato leaf freshness I enjoy so much. This fragrance truly has enormous projection and real bite it is extremely potent and one single spray is all you need to be fully in the game no excess required. As it settles the green forest like character emerges clearly driven by conifer and earthy oakmoss while the leather begins to weave its sturdy rugged signature through the blend. This is without doubt a mans man fragrance a true announcement maker that walks into a room before you even speak. Deep down amber ambergris and musk work their magic to offer a welcome moment of respite and as the dry down unfolds the whole composition smoothes out beautifully and softens into something rich and lasting. I was absolutely stunned by the quality and balance here and it has left me eager to explore more from the Ahwak range very soon.

I am so obsessed with this scent right now!! I found them on instagram and they had this deal where if you buy a discovery set, you can redeem it on a full sized perfume bottle (genius!!). Honestly I fell in love with the whole collection and ended up gradually buying them all. From what I know they’re a relatively new brand so not many people know them, but that’s a plus for me as no one else will have this perfume! This perfume opens up very fresh but has a hint of sweetness to it. In the dry down it becomes more woody, leathery and mysterious. Can really smell a lot of the base notes on my skin but they’re blended together so smoothly. There isn’t oud or incense listed in the base notes but I get a hint of incense/ something that smells very Arabic (which I love!). I also saw in their reviews people were layering it with Hayam from the same collection and WOW. it adds a floral, spicy touch to it and elevates the leather note in Gharam. I’ve been wearing it a lot lately and I’ve even gotten people ask me what I’m wearing (which never happens). If you like perfume houses like Amouage and Widian this brand will definitely be your type of vibe.

I got this fragrance over a year ago, and I am continuously falling in and out of obsession with it. I love perfumes that smell significant (not another bland jasmine or crappy oud smell), this perfume is very intricate and it's layers are absolutely amazing. Definitely one of my top 10 favorites atm.

This fragrance has a strong scent that gives me a fresh, out-of-the-shower vibe, with a unique combination of pepper and an oddly orangey freshness. It’s a great masculine scent.

I got it a year ago, I smelled it once I said ok, used it last night and still was projecting today. Is perfect, all year round
