Al Fairooz

Al Fairooz is probably one of the best masculine floral scents I have ever smelled (which isn’t a vast number). It also has a lot of versatility. I find that I can wear this through much of the year if I’m feeling froggy enough. Overall, I find AF to be a marigold dominated scent, but other notes listed in the scheme are also present. Initially, I picture the color orange when I smell this. I think maybe it’s me knowing there are apricots in this. I do enjoy eating them and I think they smell good as well. It’s a nice fit in the opening of AF. It’s basically a sweet citrus/fruit combining with violet. As I said, the brunt of this scent is floral, but it’s very unisex, even a bit masculine imho. The last part of this fragrance is basically a sweet (I’m guessing the honey) and light musk. Projection is strong but not overbearing. I easily get compliments on this. I think I paid about 90$ for the bottle but I do think it’s worth it. It’s an edp so longevity is not an issue here. AF also comes in a nice velvet type of box if I remember correctly.

This is repackaged as BAREEQ AL FAIROOZ, Honey dominant Below from Asgharali website: BAREEQ AL FAIROOZ is an oriental fragrance with the similar nuance of the Al Fairooz launched in 2009 and is being reintroduced after its initial launch. With the lustering opening of fruity top notes blending to a bouquet intense of ylang ylang, marigold and jasmine floral notes. The base is completed with notes of musk, sandalwood, honey and patchouli the perfect combination of oriental amber accords. The name BAREEQ AL FAIROOZ well suits this perfume as the bottle itself illuminates in its black and rose gold look. A definite upscale in its fragrance is truly to last longer perfect for an all-day wear. Available in 45ml.

A soft citrus on me. I quite like it. Reminds me of Zimaya fatima velvet love. I actually like it on my skin.
