ABHA

Running low on Roja Saudia Arabia and regretfully sold Candy Aoud I have been on the lookout for something similar. Abha definetly does the trick. Upon first sniff it smelled very close to SA but not as sweet as Candy Aoud. It's not a dead on clone of course but this is good enough that it will save me from spending a grand on a bottle of Roja. Definitely recommend

First of all, this is the fastest international shipping I have ever received. It took 2 days shipping from Egypt to USA.I ordered it on 09/05/2023 and received it on 09/07/2023. Presentation is really nice, with an engraved stainless steel plate and a good heavy cap. Now, the perfume. Concentration is “extrait de Parfum” and in the opening I get some mild Oud, leather, some generic fruity sweet notes that disappear after about 20 minutes leaving a very distinguishable leather note with a very soft , very mild oud It reminds me a lot of Godolphin but with an added oud note. On mi skin the projection is good but very short lived, it becomes a skin scent after 30 minutes, after that it stays on my skin for about 8 hours, sometimes more. If you spray it on clothes it’s going last there for a few days. It’s a well composed perfume but the performance is very poor for the price($95 + $19 shipping ). I never pay more than $50-$60 for a clone, this time I broke my own rule the price wasn’t worth it. Edit: after a few months it got a lot stronger and longer lasting. The most prominent notes are the Oud, the leather and saffron with a very very mild hint of sweetness. The ingredients smell extremely natural but I couldn’t find ANY of the floral or fruit accords mentioned above.

Glad you can smell all 200 ingredients listed. I don't. All I smell is fake oud, leather, rose and saffron, either on my skin, in the air or on paper strip. Absolutely nothing else. The only 200 I can smell in it is similarity to 200 other oud-rose-saffron clones out there. And it definitely smells like a clone, and not the best quality clone too. I blindly bought 6 bottles of their lower priced clones of discontinued designer frags, and they are more coherent and less screaming CLONE than any of 7 samples of their "premium" offering from set of 14 I bought on their website. With this one being the worst so far.

Blind purchased also because of Sebastian’s review but I wish I would’ve tested it first. I don’t love it. Leather is front and center for me, with some fruity nuance. I sprayed my hand and after scrubbing it off with soap it’s still there and bouncing off my skin, so not sure why some are saying performance is lacking. This stuff is pretty nuclear. Try first.

This is a pleasant surprise. Blind bought this based off The Perfume Guy including this in a video for head turning fragrances and I have to say that it’s a great fruity leather and slight oud fragrance. I honestly get more leather than oud with the oud more in background. Don’t smell this up close either because you’ll get a lot of leather, the sillage is where you can smell the beautiful fruity nature. It’s not overly sweet at all which you might think looking at the notes and seeing all those fruits and candy floss but this genuinely is a fantastic fragrance and blended really well. Presentation is also very nice with a beautiful box and bottle so for the price overall you’re getting a great fragrance that’s Sexy, fruity and leather. If you’re a fan of sweet leather fragrances then this is a must try.

I also also blind bought this one based on Sebastian's review. In all honesty, it's nothing special and I'm glad I didn't fork out £1000 in the original bottle by ROJA. I actually left this bottle behind somewhere, and I don't miss it at all. Forgettable scent.

The best in the whole house Suitable for purchase without trial Great for blind buy Intoxicating perfume The perfume has many notes and it is difficult to determine a specific note piece of art

Some claim that this would be considered an alternative to Roja Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I tried both.. and this one is very very far from it, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

@blue hulk I had some experience with their fragrances usually they grow very strong within a couple of weeks from 1st usage

The scent is nice, in the category of fruity Oud, like from roja or bortnikoff. I wish it performed better
