Haneen

I've been wearing Haneen for a while. Throughout the life of the fragrance the Rose is the star. It is a beautiful pink Damask Rose. First blast is the citrus, Rose, and the fruit. The fruit smells really ripe which makes this smell very "rich" on my skin and I could see someone being put off by that ripeness. But the fruit makes way to the spices, musk and wood. Perhaps because of the wood and amber in the mid and base notes it's not quite as sweet as it could be, but it is plenty sweet, plenty soft, plenty beautiful. And throughout it all is the Rose. This is an evening fragrance for me, not something I would wear to run errands. I have worn this in hot weather as well as cool. I think it performs best in cooler weather but would wear it again in the heat but I would be careful of the circumstances and not get overheated while wearing it. This perfume can project.

Love love this fragrance oil, would recommend this for layering other fragrances, love it on its own with that creamy powdery dry down would highly recommend

Another masterpiece! Fantastic rose with oud Affordable price but yet smell really expensive. Recommended.

Haneen, Attar al Kaaba, and Marwah all smell nearly identical on my skin--like standard, light, clean, rose oud oils. Haneen is my favorite of the three because it has a lifting effect and is sunny in character, whereas the other two have more of a grounding, bitter edge. This is predominately a sparkling rose fragrance in a lovely ornamental bottle. The rose is clearly of the synthetic variety--no rosebush or velvety petals are felt here--but it is still pretty. I don't get any fruits at all, and I don't get much oud from this either. Overall, Haneen smells like a basic rose in light musk. It's likeable and nice, but not distinctive.

I suppose every middle-eastern house needs to have a few fragrances with this traditional combo. Haneen is very nice, clean and refreshing. The rose is nice quality, and modified by subtle fruit-aldehydes. Elegant enough for casual or business daywear, but not distinguished enough in my book for important or formal events.
