Arabian Knight

This smells like Layton mixed with aventus+ camphorous and minty notes to my nose. To some that's enough for them to roll their eyes and brush it off as a another uninspired clone but I'm telling you theres something to this. I tried it at the Arabian oud boutique and it really did intrigue me. Has touches of citrusy and as I said camphorous and minty freshness, so decently appropriate for warm weather (though I wear anything whenever personally) although the silver flanker may be better for warm weather use, however that fragrance didn't have that same effect on me. The lady in the shop even gave her personal recommendation for silver but I still stuck with the original. When I got home and sprayed it I think I liked it even more. Loving this scent. Performance isn't anything amazing but I'm hoping it'll strengthen over the next few weeks.

A fragrance every man needs in his collection. This fragrance is nothing short of stunning from start to finish. I've had a few weeks to sit with it and truly take it in. I don't get much of a powdery note from it, but the citron is amazing. There is a bit of metal note on the dry down, but it almost makes you smell, shinier? It is difficult to describe unless you smell it yourself. It's almost as if you smell like a brilliant, shiny, citrus ball of energy. This is probably my most complimented summer fragrance but it is for sure versatile enough to wear in spring, summer, and fall. This is more than safe enough for a blind buy and I guarantee you that people will ask you what you're wearing. Longevity - 10/10 Sillage - 10/10 Scent - 11/10

I was umm-ing and ahh-ing about purchasing this fragrance because it's a little more than I would normally spend, but it's completely exceeded my expectations. After spraying a small amount on a t-shirt to test it out I was still able to detect some of the powdery notes people were talking about from across the room even hours later, but somehow not in a way that felt overpowering! Now after spraying some on my wrist and letting it sit for a while I'm able to smell the rose heart notes which is something I've previously struggled to identify. The overall profile is SO appealing to my taste, I was also a bit worried about the powdery smell overpowering the woodiness but all the different accents compliment each other so well in my opinion.

#559 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Smelled this before with Lattafa Ejaazi, but this is much better quality. If you added a citron note to one of my all-time favorites, Xerjoff Alexandria II, you'd have this. Ajmal Wood, a scent also worth owning, is also close to this except that has a cardamom note not cinnamon. I am not usually a fan of cinnamon, but it really is nice here. This is ambery, vanillic, spicy, musky, about as good as it gets and worthy of purchase at a $100. Probably not office wear, but casual and date night for sure, especially in cooler weather. Inviting and unisex IMO, and I know a woman I will definitely buy this for. The rose note takes it a tad to the Oriental side, but not strongly, so I will definitely wear this.

I ordered a 5ml sample. Wow, this is a beautiful fragrance. It is so pleasant and calming to smell. I guarantee if I wore this out, it would be a compliment puller. It has a familiar smell, and it took me a while to work out what it was—Lynx Africa! Don't get me wrong, this is a far higher quality fragrance, and no one will mistake you for wearing a $5 deodorant, but there is something vaguely similar about the scent profile in the air. Overall this is a great fragrance and blind buy worthy—inoffensive, mass appealing, and safe for both the office and date nights. This is one ladies will love to smell on a well-dressed man. Overall 7/10
