Solitaire

So I was craving a smoky scent and stumbled upon this master piece in a perfume shop. The perfume is actually quite pricy for the quantity compared to other al haramain products in the range. This costs around £15 for a tola(12ml). But this is still quite cheap compared to western perfumes given that this 12ml will last you for ages. It comes in a very premium looking box and the bottle is high quality metal with fake gems. When you open the cap you have a glass dip stick. This fragrance is beautiful and very unique something you probably wouldn't have smelt before in your high street brands. I imagine a successful confident suited up person wearing this. It opens with some sweet ambery smell plus tobacco. After an hour or so the smokyness gets more pronounced and the silage on this is just beautiful. After 3-4 hours the scent sits close to the skin but smells pretty much the same a mix of tobacco leathery sweet sour something. After a few more hours you can still smell it by the end of the day but it doesn't project much at this point. This is certainly a evening/night time scent and seems ok for dates, business meetings etc. I don't think this should offend many people and certainly doesn't cause a headache or get tiring after a while either. I went slightly overboard the first time I used it and didn't have a headache. I absolutely love this scent for now. On clothes it could last for days or weeks. While it is marketed as unisex I see it as being more masculine.

I'd say that the listed notes are pretty accurate for this one. In addition I'm getting what seems like the very occasional slight whiff of mint and ambroxan but for the most part it's a fresh, sexy, leather and cedar. It's vital and modern. This one stands out for me. Its different and very well done. I've received one complement from it from someone used to me wearing a lot of fragrances. A good date scent if applied in moderation, I'd say. It lasts all day on me and I'm one of these annoying complainers that not much has good longevity thesedays. Perfect also for the cold weather or outdoors because of its stunning performance. I'm going to be rocking this one a great deal.

This is beautiful on a whole new level. Like Green, tobacco, cumin with a hint of lime. Is not sour, is more of an expensive leather jacket smell. Is very hard to explain everything that is happening when you apply this oil. I can just say it is very long lasting, it is not girly at all, it’s relaxing scent I just love , I am in my 3rd bottle . I love to apply and sleep with it .

Zseniális kompozíció. Édes, zamatos pipadohány bőrrel, pacsulival és csipetnyi citrusokkal. Erőteljes, véleményem szerint határozottan férfi és kevésbé női illat. Nagyon nagyon hasonlít az Al Haramain White Oudh parfümhöz. Nagy vetítés, remek tartósság, a csomagolás klasszis, az üveg formája és kidolgozása pedig osztályon felüli. Nagy kedvenc.

This Al Haramain perfume oil has a spirit of its own! When I first opened the bottle I wasn't very charmed, but I was so wrong. The next day I applied the oil on me and the fragrance started to evolve. The entire day I associated the aroma around me with Caron's Yatagan. They shared that same strange oriental note, but in Solitaire it is a bit sweeter. The most mesmerizing thing in Solitaire is the bottle! What a work of art! It is so magical, mystic and exquisite! The blue diamond-engraving is without analog. This fragrance has so many strong sides... One of them is the longevity of this gem. I applied the perfume oil on my neck and behind my ears - that was on friday. Five days later, on tuesday my leather jacket is full of the Solitaire's unique smell. When I open my wardrobe, where my jacket stays, I immediately recognize the smell of Solitaire. It is so solid and lasts forever. If just Kouros nowadays had that lasting power... I have to confess - Solitaire beats him. Overall this is a great scent with even greater sillage and lasting power!

Solitaire has a VERY strong tobacco opening. It takes a few minutes before it settles down and mellows into a period of wonderment as other smells evolve. It's impossible to ignore this fragrance. As I wore it, I was continuously comparing the evolution of the fragrance to various experiences. Eventually, I decided that I could not wait several hours until the subtle bergamot and lemon notes appeared. My husband has become the recipient of this powerful perfume oil. I love to smell it on him. It fits his image as an intellectual rebel. He loves it. I love the bottle and his smell when he wears it.

Got it as a bday gift...Ok, this is coming from a leather-lover...and it's a stunning frag..my eyes rolled to the back of my head! It's strong, assertive and long-lasting. Solitaire takes the tar-like, inky aspect of leather frags. While many leather scents feel too dry for me, this one feels just right. Note-wise, I think leather is most dominant, then tobacco and cumin third. Bit odd because am not a fan of cumin (to say the least) but in here it seems to work really well and avoids body odour territory. P.S. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, even better than on the pic.

I got in in spraying bottle ,85ml,it doesn’t come off as strongly as they say on this one,it’s not offensie. Solid leather scent with wood n spices here and there. It’s a cool one for the price tag.

Още един скъпоценен камък от Ал Харамейн, а бутилката е едно прекрасно бижу.

If you're a collector and like displaying bottles on your shelf it's worth it for the bottle alone. Solid metal, screws off with a glass rod applicator integrated into the cap. The gems are obviously plastic but they aren't cheap looking. Really, really nice bottle. The scent is... acceptable. Mainly lots of citrus at the start for me with a bit of a leathery backing behind it that begins to come out a bit more as it dries down. I don't smell any cumin at all. As far as scent quality goes, it smells about like what it costs to me. I'm sure the performance will be far beyond your average ~$20 frag however, I'll edit this when I can report on that. Update: stops projecting noticeably pretty quickly, but lasts on skin for quite a while. Also a lot more pleasant when it's dried down, where I think I'm mainly getting sandalwood. I will say, to the people who say they're smelling cumin in this thing: are you sure? Maybe it's just a matter of skin chemistry, but pick up a cheap bottle of Tous 1920 and give it a sniff. That's what cumin in a fragrance smells like. Good lord, update again: Y'know what, in the late, late drydown I am FINALLY smelling the slightest hint of cumin alongside the sandalwood. It's fairly nice actually.

Blind bought it...I Don't like it at all. brings headache. Very powerful last forever so imagine! Headache forever! Update: No way ..dislike! Update2: this smells exactly like shuhrah rasasi but shuhrah is fresher and not linear...I hate both but shuhrah easier to wear.

Since I received this perfume at home, I am amazed with it, the packaging is beautiful, much better than that of many much more expensive perfumes. It is a blue box of magnetized cardboard, which opens like a book, inside is the beautiful metal bottle, embedded in a kind of velvety foam, with a finish, really, magnificent. You would never think it's a 15€ perfume. After dazzling, visually, with the packaging, you open the bottle and you smell its crystal rod and ... you surrender to its charms. What a beautiful perfume, a leather with spicy tobacco. Unisex and beautiful. It starts with an explosion of bergamot and lemon, which opaque, at times, a soft and velvety tobacco, with a sea of citrus, green and herbaceous nuances, a full-bodied aroma, but fresh and elegant. Then, the citrus are decreasing in intensity and begins to appear a tad of cumin, resembling, in this part, a little to Amouage's Interlude, for that spicy touch so characteristic. Here we can see a soft tobacco with slight residual citrus nuances, but very spicy by cumin, and all this, on a bed of semi-sweet woods, with the first throes of leather. Little by little the leather starts to make its way into the aroma, the woody notes rise in intensity, the cumin and tobacco are muffled and the citrus notes disappear, allowing us to see a woody and spicy leather, with slight traces of tobacco, and a nuance earthy and balsamic patchouli, of vertigo. Personally, I love it, it's a perfume with a lot of strength and character, but it never loses an iota of elegance and that touch of opulent and ostentatious perfume, worthy of much more expensive perfumes. Its drying is pure vice ... In terms of performance is great, exceeding 10 hours in skin without disheveled, with a strong wake in the first hours, then drops something until moderate, but making itself noticed at all times. This type of perfumes is perfect for cold and temperate climates, and of course, to wear at night, although in a formal, daytime event with fresh weather, it is also a great option. Can you ask for more? Yes, but not at this price. A beautiful perfume in all your senses, beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside. For lovers of leather and tobacco, it is a mandatory test, and for everyone else, too. Perfume highly recommended. Sorry for my bad english.

I smell leather and cumin to start with. And I love it. Do not smell so much tobacco, and if it’s there it’s more like cigarette. I don’t mind it, it’s hidden on me. I was wondering how I would like cumin in a fragrance – I love it. This fragrance draws me to it over and over again when I want something that feels natural, rich and oriental and fresh spicy. It’s more of a rich relaxing vibe instead of dynamic or sporty or opulent. It has a very relaxed richness to it, but it does have the feel of being a superior version of one of the Haramain cheapies. I would say it’s superb for the price. It’s one of the cheaper ones that I don’t mind. A lot of these Al Haramain cheapies are pretty unacceptable to me — not bad just fairly simple, tending synthetic or overly generic (green notes, floral notes, etc type language) not worth wasting a day of my life with I could have been smelling something far nicer for not that much more per application. To me the cheapies are usually about the scent quality of a high-end craft body care product — excellent but for directly applied perfumes there are way, way better scent profiles out there. In the future I will stay away from them, but this one I will almost definitely rebuy unless I find something significantly better. But this one just draws me to it like no other and it’s price range. Make sure you don’t mind cumin — but then again that is a lot of what draws me to it. It’s like buttery jeera rice and a whole bunch of other compatible notes. Beats Night Dreams by a hair for me and that’s saying something.

Al Haramain became unique fragrance in Market for Perfume Lover. Solitaire is one of the unique and cheaper price perfume in my ever see. The bottle quality very honourable and looks like a king (Sultan). Tobacco and leather mixing together makes personality stronger and increase confidence. Overall this is best fragrance of al Haramain .

Solitaire Al Haramain have the same flavour like Muntasira Dhahab (orientica-al haramain). I think solitaire performs better. Smoking-tobacco field. Very pleasant, ok to blind buy. Also, very close to rasasi shuhrah, or between shuhrah and shagaf, both by rasasi

Was thinking seriously about it but that bottle is just ridiculous.
