Nefertiti

I didn’t expect to buy this at a reasonable price (10 euros), but it turned out well! As people used to say in Soviet times, you need to know the places! The bottle was 2/3 full, but even with patina the aromatic oriental is good and subtle. When the bottle was almost half full, the gothic patina was gone, and the perfume shone in all its glory as a rose colored with resins, herbs and spices. The musk is very gentle, warm, without ammonia, or it is very well disguised. It seems to be a rose along with incense from canopic jars and mummy bandages, Egyptian flowers and black tea.

I accidentally bought a second bottle, also at a reasonable price, a quarter full. I am writing a second comment because I realized that initially this perfume had nothing "gothic", there was no leather in it, there could be no association with tea or a mummy. Of course, there are resins in the base, but only a little bit and very subtly, to bloom the Taif rose with the morning dawn. This perfume is true perfection. But even if it ages, it still remains a beautiful star of perfumery. These age-related changes can be compared to the modern look of Joan Collins.

OMG, nicoleta1, you are right! My mother had it back in Russia about 35 years ago. In my memory of this perfume it was strong, unusual and very good. It was an Arabian perfume, not French. I was waiting for someone to put it here. Wouldn't it be interesting to try it again?

Chabrawichi is an Egyptian Brand, it used to make many perfumes back in the days but it went thru many changes over the years, it has a very famous cologne called "555" which is available in Every house in Egypt, a lemon scent that is used as a refreshing cologne or a sanitizer sometimes, this scent was used by mainly all the elder woman in the family, last of them was my grandma till she died in 1989. This scent is discontinued, i've only seen pictures of it, never got the chance to try it. Surprisingly i came across this post because i was checking their website today and found that they are presented here by 2 scents. Also surprisingly i learned that they have new perfume editions on their website, but over the past few years i was never able to see any of those in the stores, only the 555 and the Lavender Cologne are sold on supermarkets.

Finally Fragrantica is listing this great company which had it's ups and downs but still produces some of my favourite nostalgic perfumes , which I have grown up with like any other Egyptian :)
