For Ever

How do I start this one, first I am glad to see it in Fragrantica, second, I am a man, that likes to wear "masculine" fragrances, I have a weekness for certain sweet fragrances though, and I find them to be very appealing. Usually Sandalwood based fragrances if they are creamy sweet, yet still smokey, I LOVE those. Anyways onto, this. I purchased this off Amazon, based on the notes listed on amazon (which are different than here, Fragrantica DEFINITELY has the correct notes), of interest were Incense, Sandalwood, Black Currant, and Bergamont (based on Amazon's note listing) When I received the bottle, I smelled what I perceived as Pinapple (its peach definitely) and coconut, along with sweet floral notes, and it came off as feminine for sure. VERY pleasant though, I actually enjoyed wearing it that night as I sat at my computer. But wouldnt feel comfortable. Fast forward a little, and I was going through my stuff to thin it out some, and I grabbed this again, what were the notes, I go back to amazon (as I knew it wasnt here on Fragrantica yet) and there they were, the incense and sandalwood, I have to try it again. So I put it on again, same fruity smell as before, but I felt a little more comfortable with it, I really like certain aspects of it, but it does smell feminine, so I decide to try to wear it, I put it on in the morning, but it was coming off too feminine, so I sprayed 1 spray of Eau Sauvage Parfum to it, to sort of cover it up a little, and WOW what a combo, I fell instantly in love. I then tried this by itself, and what an AMAZING drydown, a sweet creamy smokey sandalwood (even though its not listed here) that is what I perceive when the fruity and floral notes sort of fade to the back, its simply amazing stuff, and I LOVE combining this with Eau Sauvage Parfum, its a deadly sexy secret weapon. This by itself is deadly sexy in the drydown, on my skin, it lasts a long time, projection could be a little better in the later stages though, and I find myself reapplying it (convenient bottle) just to boost it up since I love smelling this around the clock, it stays on skin a long time, but I like it to be more in my face during the day. If you apply it to clothing, it lasts a LONG time, but it remains fruity, and since it is an oil, it stains clothes, the liquid is a clearish yellow color, so it wont totally ruin your clothes, but I woudlnt apply it on clothes. This stuff is also $10 for the bottle, and you only need a small amount per application, I plan on buying a few more just to have on hand.

I'm a guy, I'm gay, and I *love* this fragrance. I have a great palette for wine and a nose like you'd not believe. When you can detect gas leaks that machinery can't find, you know you're good :) Al-Haramain For Ever has got to be the single most sensual fragrance I have ever encountered. The first thing I get is coconut, then vanilla, it's almost like a scented dessert, rich and thick. Definitely fig on the nose, almost a little syrup-like, but I don't detect peach in it. Right on the end is a little hit like baby powder, the kind of smell you'd imagine it to be - sweet, light and gentle. For Ever is incredibly strong. I use a little at night next to my pillow, to help me sleep, because it's so rich and decadent that it relaxes me. My friends adore it too, I've already ordered some for them! One word of warning, if you're somewhere like a restaurant, apply it VERY lightly, because when you're warm, it scents quite heavily, and it'll knock out your nose, so when you eat, you'll miss quite a lot.

This smells like fruity ice cream! I do detect the vanilla and coconut - very sweet, creamy, and gourmand. There's a touch of blackcurrant that reads as ripe blueberry to my nose. Also, I can detect the tiniest hint of tea if I breathe in deeply. Forever stays close to the skin, but on a windy day, you can pick up delicate whiffs of this delicious scent. It becomes more musky on the dry down. A great bargain fragrance that benefits from a good, long rest after traveling to you; it changes drastically once it has time to settle, as do most perfumes (especially oils), in my experience. I wish there was stronger projection, such as with the EdP fragrances from Al Haramain, but for this price, I don't mind applying heavily.

It's like fragrant fruit jam smeared between layers of puff pastry that is flavored delicately with anise-seeds, topped with dollops of whipped vanilla-almond cream. A breeze wafts by as you nibble this confection, carrying a subtle whiff of sweet blossoms (ylang-ylang, orchid, narcissus). As this beautiful mixture of scents subsides a bit, I smell dark, mysterious woods- with just a touch of incense smokiness- and a powdery, sweet musk that becomes more-noticeable on the far drydown. So lovely throughout its long life! Honestly, one of the most sophisticated gourmands I've encountered, and an amazing find for the price! NOTE: My label says "For Ever".

I was so confused buying this as their were so many opinions bt i had to take a chance so finally i got it ..n actually iam satisfied ..i can feel why people saying it a coconut fragrance ... actually the mixture of ylang ylang and sandalwood together feel like coconut creamy kind of vibe ..its a incensy coconuty creamy powdery kind of fragrance ... it's smell way more rich ..n i mean this is budget friendly as well in india it is approximately $7 to $10 ..
