Amira Gold

I love this fragrance for unwinding at home after a long day, when you want to smell delicious but don't want anything too complex or that will project too much. Amira starts with a sharp, almost chlorine-smelling note on my skin which put me off the first few times I tried it, but I have learned that the magic happens as it unfolds on the skin - like many Arabian oils. Oud and orange kick in very quickly, softening down to sandalwood, hints of orange zest and a honey-floral blend which is hard to unpick. Pretty, soothing, sensual but also cheerful. This chills me out and perks me up at the same time. Reminds me at turns of both the more Oud-heavy Marwah and the (better than it sounds!) laundry-fruity-floral Noora from Al-Haramain. Amira sits closer to the skin, but if you like either of these - or indeed any of the more feminine leaning Al-Haramain oils - this is a no-brainer. (Side note: My husband adores sniffing this on my neck)

A simple and delicate perfume. The projection is not very good, but I didn't expect it to be, especially since I have the oil version. It smells very nice... orange, very little smoke (almost imperceptible), slightly spicy, a clean smell, and I perceive it as a unisex perfume.

This fragance is very elegant and bright! I smell mostly the orange note, very well blended. I agree that this perfume is very feminine.

Orange mixed with oud and sandelwood, nothing overpowering, but simple and lovely.

Oud and orange. Quite simple but I really like it.

On my skin, the note is very ozonic and not pleasant. I don't smell any refined oud at all. Not comfortable for me, ozonic fruity-woody scent composed with sour oud. I think synthetic oud attars of Musc d'Or (3ml/1.5€) are better and more enjoyable.

Nothing special. Too soft for me. Only think that makes worth the money that I have payed for it is the bottle. Never gone buy it again.

I can detect the orange component only smelling the bottle, on my skin its disappear. It would be great if it would be more intensive. For me its just a pure, smoky oud scent with the usual killer sillage and longevity of the attars. Reminds me a lot of Affaf which I love. Amira gold has a very beautiful bottle, I could bring it in my bag (because its small and not heavy), but I dont need it, because I dont need to reapply it during the day. its an unwashable scent, I can smell it on my skin after having a shower either. If you use it, you will have a sexual aura. So it is definitely not for teens but a real woman cant be disappointed with it.

1 single drop of this and I can feel the zesty orange, vanilla on a smoky beautiful bed of musk. Oud not majorly present, which for me is a yes. Drydown radically different, with strong but pleasing soapy notes. I will happily use this as is, or even better, as layering base for some other musky / amber perfumes I have to make them last longer. Feminine fragrance? Maybe, but I'll be who I want to be. UPDATE: fell out of love with this at the moment. But I sometimes use a bit on my hair in combo with Blessed Baraka / Initio Parfums. Nice layering scent if you use just a tiny amount.

Another great oil!!! This leans on the sweeter side with contributions from Oud, smoke and zesty vanilla. The sweet citrus withdraws quickly leaving behind a Smoky, floral aroma with a vanillic base. The notes are very well blended, incense adds a beautiful touch without turning it into a bonfire and gets along with oud superbly. All in all very pleasant and good for the warmer weather we still fantasize to get at some point here in the Old Blighty. Another winner from AL Haramain.

It starts with a prominent note of something like grapefruit, although it isn't listed. Maybe it is the orange? It is sweet too, but I wouldn't call it vanilla. It is more like honey. It is a lovely note and it soon eclipses the grapefruit. Later sandalwood and oud appear, but the honeyed note is still there. Very comfortable scent. It is an oil, by the way.

Sweet incense, orange and vanilla combine to make this a deliciously feminine fragrance. The beautiful bottle encrusted with jewels speaks of the contents within. Totally lovely, make a special and beautiful gift for a loved one and not overpriced. Good value in every sense.

This is what I wanted Al Haramain Marwa to be. Amira Gold is like Marwa minus the extra oud. Has low to moderate silage and lasts a good few hours.
