Lutfah The Seventh Heaven

I got my sample from Misty mountain decants. Absolutely incredible leather fragrance. This is so smooth so well done and honestly it compares with incredibly expensive Niche fragrances and I'm saying that in total honesty. I'm not a huge fan of leather as some others may be but I'll be darned the smoothness of this leather is what gets me. It's more of a rich leather but the smoothness and the well-rounded quality of the blend is what gives this the feel of it being an over $100 fragrance in my opinion. I've smelled some really good leather fragrances from more affordable brands but this one it radiates well it's smooth and it is oddly refreshing - don't ask me how that works. Honestly this is classy. I don't know what imperial valley smells like but if it smells anything close to this honestly I'd be interested. This has remarkable smoothness to it that I just simply can't deny and I'm smelling my arm as I write this in my kitchen. Final thoughts Sheesh where do I begin. This is incredibly smooth on par with Niche level quality and is masculine, rich and just a pleasure to smell to be honest. This is for a gentleman who wants to communicate masculinity but also I believe the opposite sex would find this appealing as this does not communicate anything in terms of a challenging set profile in my opinion. There is a light white floral aspect to this that I believe rounds the edges beautifully. Oud for greatness is my ultimate choice when talking to other people about what a gentleman cowboy smells like. This is exactly on par with that. This is what a gentleman cowboy smells like. I know this is a popular Middle East profile but you market this to men in the Midwest and south of the United States and they got to smell it they would definitely wear this. Solid 8.9/10 Value for the money 10/10 Smoothness 10/10 (And I'm tough to please). Ps. This stuff is nuclear in terms of sillage. It's very strong.

OK, first off I want to say that I really have enjoyed wearing this fragrance for a few days now... I would call this a Medium Weight Freshy. Is it as Sparkly in the opening as the OG Imperial Valley? no... Does it have the same DNA in the Dry Down? Yes... I was able to wear a sample of the OG and was really impressed. With the unavailability of the OG here in the states, this LUTFAH 7th Heaven is a no brainer... if you enjoy this DNA! I find this Lutfah to be a Fresh Fragrance even from the beginning. Does it have a detectable Clean OUD and Soft Leather? yes... but, it is the CLEAN Version. I have the liking of heavier winter types of scents and have really never gravitated to warmer weather Freshys... I don't think this Lutfah is really that heavy as posted below. I feel it is a thicker or more complex aromatic scent. A sprite opening with an clean woody and very soft leather backbone. Then drying down to a soft musk... Remember, I have always gravitated to winter scents so, this Lutfah feels fresh to me for your spring and fall rotations... For your summer wearing just limit the sprays... I am getting about 6hrs with details and maybe 3 more hrs in the vibe as a clean dryer sheet or as a skin scent.

Just got this... it’s really nice and loud, I haven’t tried Imperial valley yet, very difficult to find where I live This DNA is very easy to wear, it’s a clean/fresh oud that can wear all year round I have tried Hawas fire and Laathani from Ahmed Al M I would say this is the one I like the most, Hawas fire feels like a watered down version of this DNA and Laathani feels way sweater in the opening where in the dry down the rosemary note pops out more on Laathani Lutfa feels more bold and loud and high quality compared to these other 2 Will test performance and update Edit: ok so this is definitely more Oudy than Laathani, longevity out of the box 7 hours

I really like this a lot Reminds me of when me and my family went Dubai and the smell you'd get when you walked past the fragrance sellers in the middle of the mall The leather is smooth and not overpowering, accompanied by the smooth white amber together crafts an amazing fragrance. Still have the oud as well though not as vivid as other middle eastern fragrances. This is a good buy, though if you haven't smelt imperial valley you should first just to get a measure as to what to expect with this. I'd say a 90% accuracy with some subtle differences

this is not for everyone, very nice aromatic oudy leathery slightly animalic but sexy ,it feels woody,those who dont like this doesnt mean its bad, its amazing quality as any other arabiyat prestige.Presentation very nice for the price u cannot complain,performance amazing,after 5hours still projecting. After some weeks wow this became super amazing, more aromatic and ambery sweetness showed up,sensational scent but not for everybody

This is a nice fragrance and based on the price it seems well worth it. It has good longevity and silage and seems versatile as long as you don't over spray it. Arabiyat Prestige produces fragrances of generally high quality and this seems to be of high quality as well. This is available in the US for under $40 USD, so what is not to like? It has a pleasant citrus opening.

My goodness, this an absolutely gorgeous fragrance! I am just blown away how beautiful this fragrance is, just stunning. This will be one of my top 5 fragrances, smells rich, well composed and luxurious! Second bottle on the way as a back up!

A really likeable fragrance which can be worn all year round with appropriate number of sprays (strong stuff)

The house of Arabiyat has been a stunning discovery for me this year. What started as an innocent quest to leave my comfort zone & explore other Middle Eastern fragrance houses in my country ended up opening a gateway to olfactory bliss from brands I never knew were so good. The opening of Lutfah has a prominent citrus note from the legendary bergamot, but it's accompanied by something that smells like sauce & salt to me. I mean, this smells mysterious even from the opening. What is this?! I don't know what davana smells like, but man, this saucy/salty phase packs a glorious sweet floral and fruity undertone. Perhaps the pepper is among the notes causing that sauce smell to me. As this begins to settle down, I detect a note I'm so familiar with—leather! It's there. I feel its luxurious texture creating this aura of a "Middle Eastern smell" together with the oud accord. The dry down is where I smell the amber-like accord—more like ambergris, to be honest. There's also more earthy nuances in it now. The leather is still there. Nothing much has changed; it just got softer, sweeter, and more earthy. I'm just really intrigued by this smell. I'm not the heavy oud type of person—& this isn't it—but I really like how fresh and still sophisticated this one smells. The opening is fresh, airy, salty and spicy, but as it dries, it unveils lots of intricacies. This is said to be inspired by Imperial Valley. It's hard to really tell what clones are again these days, considering every possible logic in perfumery. Performance on this one is exceptional. This is one of those fragrances you don't need more than 10 sprays as an over-sprayer. But please, just do 4 as a normal person that wants to be really felt. This shii stays on my skin for 15hrs minimum, and PROJECTS like it owns my vicinity. I mean, bro wants to DOMINATE everywhere he goes. I always have to calm bro down by just 2 sprays. With that, I can ensure I still keep that aura of mystery as I pass. (Hey, I'm not an over-sprayer.)

I love Arabiyat Prestige and the MPF line as they all deliver very close to what they are cloning, and normally if you buy a few fragrances you can get them at a superb discount. However, with this one I tried, I really tried to like it and it is just not up my street at all. I did smell Imperial Valley from a Gissah stand in Qatar and I think this is an absolutely brilliant inspired by fragrance, very similar and even on the drydown but it's just far too sickly sweet for my taste. I love sweet fragrance, but not this one. As an added comment, it does not project or give anyone a beast mode longevity like some YouTubers spout which is an absolute fallacy. It's a decent sweet fragrance and that is it. I don't know where people get the leather accord from? It's as far away from leather as I am from a mango tree. Edit: After several months, I now get the leather. So that has developed since I got it and I now like it a lot better than at the time of writing the original review.

If you like animalic oudy fragrances this is a good pick, this is in the same category as Carnal desire or Azzure Oud from French Avenue, very heavy fragrance, if you don't like those, i don't think you will like this either. Most people will not like this scent profile, also it is very strong, 10+h easy and huge projection in the first 3h. Not a blind buy safe option imo, get a sample before buying.

I did blind by this perfume. There is clearly a strong oud to this perfume with some smokiness. I also pick up in the background the citrus from the bergamot. It is not a note ,but I pick up a faint pineapple in this. I personally like the scent and find it quite unique. It lasted me over a ten hour day and still had some projection, not like when it was first put on, but it still was there.

Performance is good and the quality is really good i just hate this dna bro. It’s definitely not mass appealing. Mine might have to macerate but i cant get past the smoking bbq sauce smell. If this didnt have the oud it would smell amazing. The oud ruins it. I won’t be wearing this ever tbh i just hate smoky fragrances.

There was no where in my rotation that this was working. It’s not fresh enough when you want freshness, and too oudy for most occasions.,I sold this and got something else. You will probably want something else too. 3/10

Definitely a more 'user friendly' version of Gissah Imperial Valley, IMO. I love this although it's not something I reach for often. If you know & like Imperial Valley (I'd say the OG is too much sumn for me). I'm told Reef 33 is also in this DNA family & much 'easier' to wear/like. Anyhow, i really enjoy it. It's unique, bold, long-lasting & very strong. It makes me think of multiple strong & distinct scents blended together while achieving rhe best of each. Taming the characteristics that, by themselves, are easy to not care for. Maybe its somwwhat of an acquired taste which i wouldn't be surprised if more dislike than like (i wouldn't be surprised if the masses overwhelmingly love it either). However, most people like counter-top frags opposed to an unforgiving niche frag. Crazy thing is people love Liquid Brun which, to me, is like comparing fresh-hot dog shit [LB] to an earthy/gassy/dank weed [L7H] e.g (again not everyone likes that type of weed smell, or any, but if you do then its as normal as liking the smell something clean & inoffensive. Ive got many compliments wearing it. Quite a few times by people i was surprised they liked it. Some others said it's a very interesting fragrance and maybe 1 or 2 people said that it's not their personal type/style. Nobody actually said "that's terrible". Although here and there interesting means they think it's terrible. Then again if you knew me personally, you would know not to hide behind a mixed-message so i feel its been well received thus far. This is not a blind-buy type but I grabbed it blind to the DNA (ordered an OG decant soon after). I also grabbed Azzure Aoud & Liquid Brun blind without expectations on those 2 (neither have made it past air testing and onto my skin yet, maybe they've improved after time & oxidation). I had a good feeling about L7H and it's one of my favorite cool-cold weather frags. WARNING: Less is more & anymore than less can end up an epic fail. It's not versatile per se, but by definition neither really is 'niche'. Seriously, it's fuckin strong. It will make it through the washing machine and be louder still than gain detergent & ,fab softner on any clothing it's sprayed on. It's louder than Megara & maybe Megamare (i love Megara but hate Megamare so when I hate a smell it's overwhelmingly loud and I can really make an unbiased call which is louder on skin). It lingers on clothing longer & louder than Megara, which that shit will change the way your jacket smells forever possibly. I can't stress enough that 1-2 sprays too many can make it go from "wow that is an interesting and very unique scent, what is it? Right into 'cough,gag,cough,sneeze....what the fuck is that smell that's choking me out?' Possibly that's you in the car talking to yourself. I'd be willing to bet money that 9 of 10 bad receptions by somebody wearing this, put too much on! I like Kuros, Musc Ravaguer, Megara/L'eau D'issey (layered together). Anybody coming on here trashing 'hype', I'll be real, you're a knucklehead at minimum. There's differnt types of hype for different types of frags. To act as if this is/was being hyped like CDNIM (worst big-hype frag, IME, total trash & disrespectful version of Aventus DNA) or Hawas &/or Hawas Ice (fuckin bangers & arguably best $30 clones ever made), is a total lie or total ignorance to contexts & variables as well as limited experience w/frags &/or a limited ability to learn from experience. There's no absolutes in music and fragrance because they are personal and based on sensory perception and interpretation, amongst other things. Dupont Nitro Line is super-hyped. I feel like the entire line is redundant compared to Hawas e.g. Also I'm of the opinion that many people lie about ever owning (especially) or smelling the OG. There's just some very generic, harsh, & overly synthetic clones people claim "i have both and my gf can't tell difference....or it's 99% same"... no it's not. Yes she can but she's embarrassed for you or she can't because neither have smell the OG. For me this is a no-brainer. It also may be the only bottle ever if I rarely use it and only need 2-4 atomizer taps not sprays. Plus I'm somewhat entertained just buying frags and arguing with illogical idiots on Reddit (my wifey died so it helps fill that void of unnecessary bantering. plus I can throw insults without it being used against me 9 years and 800,643 arguments later while pretending I did it without provocation). Hey if u hate it, don't wear it and tell others not to. The more popular it gets, the less I care to use it anyhow.

I concur with @Dentish. I grabbed this by the raving and non stop recommendation from BestBrandsPerfume on YouTube. Every other video or short he made had to mention this one as the most "beastmode fresh fragrance out there" he stated that it lasts 5 days on clothes with nuclear projection and sillage.. This is not the case here, this is a leather/oud fragrance through and through, it smells of nothing fresh or clean, it smells like a bad mix of oud and leather. I also have Akdeniz by Unique Luxury and that one is a "fresh" leather fragrance, I have come to realize that these DNA's do not work at all.. People state its an Imperial valley clone, I haven't smelled Imperial Valley but I cant imagine its more different than this, I get the vibe they're going for but this is just not it man, this is not mass pleasing as BBP states, it's not fresh, it's not clean, it's not office safe, its got average longevity with minimal projection with a non existent sillage. I hate to crap on this because I love Arabiyat Prestige, I think they're way more premium than 95% of arab perfume brands, their quality with the fragrances is second to none but I am afraid to say that some of them are trash and this is one of them, paid shills like Bestbrandsperfume is very apparent. Only thing I like is the bottle desgin and the packaging. 2/10

I bought this perfume after seeing positive reviews from Best Brand Perfume, and honestly — I regret it. The scent is just awful. It reminds me of those cultural bath mixtures some “witch doctors” give people to bathe with — very strange and unpleasant. I’ve tried wearing it a few times, hoping it would grow on me, but based on people’s facial expressions, it clearly didn’t sit well with anyone around me. I gave it another try yesterday (after having it for about six months), and my wife immediately asked what that awful smell was. Even my 8-year-old daughter didn’t like it. To be fair, the performance is strong — it’s long-lasting and the sillage is definitely there — but unfortunately, the scent itself is a complete miss for me. I now feel hesitant to purchase Hawas Fire, since both it and Seventh Heaven are clones of Imperial Valley Gisah. For reference, I own Hawas Ice, Hawas Black, and Hawas for Her (for my wife), and all of those are pretty good. But Seventh Heaven? Definitely not for me.

Astoundingly bad fragrance. Smells absolutely NOTHING like these reviews indicate. I get NO citrus at all. I get no great projection. I get nothing resembling longevity. All I am getting is an amberish vetiver solvent kind of smell. For reference the production date of my bottle was 6 months ago, so "maceration" should be complete. Perhaps I got a bad bottle. I don't think so, but that would mean you might get a bad bottle too. Do not fall for the hype.

As flava flave once said, don't believe the hype. I watched a guy glaze this fragrance on YT so much, that I bit the bullet and bought it. Luckily I got it a great price, so I'm certainly happy about my purchase. I have imperial valley and this is a very impressive take on that DNA. When compared side by side, up close it has some differences. If I had to be critical, I'd say the citrus notes make me think of kitchen cleaner, but I didn't detect this in the air. The let down is the performance: where many have said it's nuclear, lasting 5 days on skin and an absolute room filler. I will say from a spray on my wrist, I could detect something from the fragrance faintly, even after a day or two, but I'm either going blind to the scent, or the projection isn't so great. A 2 day vague skin scent is impressive, but it's not that useful lol.

I think this smells amazing. I could literally wear it everyday. I'm so confused why alot of ppl don't like this. I own a few leather colognes and love them all but this is by far the best
