Sultan

I have the oil and I find it very masculine. The pineapple, peach, cinnamon, amber and sandalwood are the most prominent notes on me. The cinnamon provides both a sharpness and spice giving the composition a warm but masculine edge. Although I heard this has a strong strawberry note, I do not smell it. It's very sweet and edible in the air. I would love to cosy up to my husband if he were wearing this. In fact, I'll put some on him when he arrives home from work, lol! A feminine counterpart to this fragrance is the new Live Irresistable by Givenchy. They are brother and sister. I do not think Sultan smells like Noora after application. Noora has a fresh, soapy undercurrent like still warm laundry. Sultan is deep and dark throughout.

I cannot put into words how much i love this silly little bottle of perfume. I have had it for a year now, and its still almost full. When i first got it, the smell was too pungent to me, since i was used to more light and misty perfumes. But this was it! I didn't know what letting your perfumes macerate meant, and i unknowingly did it. Boy, did it get so much better. The scent became thicker, not as pungent to the nose but (dare i say, it gave off a rich smell). I have gotten so many compliments on it, have even suggested it to most and i always have it with me. (Key note, place it directly behind or under your ear, so when someone leans in, they get the whole package. Mostly love it because of the vanilla notes.)

This is such a pretty and long lasting scent which envelops the wearer with the most amazing cloud. A friend of mine was wearing a very tiny drop behind her ears but I could smell it from the moment she came into the office. She walked around leaving an amazing perfume trail. It comes across to me as very similar to Dolce and Gabbana Femme, the old formulation, without the aldehydes. This is a concentrated oil so a tiny swipe is all you need. It starts off very very strong very sweet floral note, almost candy like and by the dry down the sandalwood and amber appear. It dries off to a powdery woody floral, almost losing some of the sweetness. The musk is very clean and present all throughout.

Substance: The strawberry, pineapple, sandalwood, vanilla and honey.. these all notes are so prominent in this gourmand jewel that they emit sweetness through and through. Honey dipped strawberry and pineapple salad would be an apt description! The juice itself is pretty lean, kinda dilated tbh, but smells amazing. Great projection and very good silage. Lasts for at least 8-10 hours comfortably. Packaging: Just about average. Looks good on the shelf from distant sight. However, up and close, the look and smell spells cheap n chic, respectively. Rating: 6/10 (Frag: 7; Bottle: 5.)

Oh I cannot express how much I love this perfume. I have the Attar... it is a WORK of ART. This beauty kicks the arse out of any designers or niches, in my opinion. I LOVE that grape-y soda sweet tuberose/jasmine fruit blend.. it reminds me of a friend in high school who would wear Dior Poison.. but this is more complex, and much better IMO. It changes as well. A little lasts all day. It never gets old. I am totally going to buy a backup, let it sit for however long and see how it ages. I bet it is more beautiful the more it ages. This was the best blind-buy ever.
