Musk Makkah

A well balanced mix between musc, strawberry and cinnamon. I wish it was sweeter, but thanks to the moderate sweetness it will probably please more people and can be classified as a unisex fragrance that leans more feminine. I do see the similarities with Mukhallat from Montale with their artificial smell, but I would say that this one is boozier and denser whereas Mukhallat is more on the gourmand side and strawberry centered. This a long-lasting fragrance (8hours) and the sillage is great as it is a dense fragrance.

Very similar to montale mukhallat, except this is better, less artificial although it still is. It's sweet and tbh i don't get much strawberry from it (at least not a natural strawberry scent). This should not be a blind buy and i would say it's for a pretty specific taste. You can smell the almonds and cinnamon quite a bit and it almost smells a bit like honey to me as well. Overall not my cup of tea but I know there are people that enjoy these fragrances.

The initial smell reminds me of a clean bathroom, which is just not what I want to wear. But the dry down is much nicer, I found that layering it helped to bring out the sweeter notes to make it bearable but I just don’t think it’s worth it for me. I will however try more from this brand as the projection and lasting is superior to much more expensive brands with similar scents.

Blind bought it after I saw a TikTok review, but I unfortunately did not like it. I love strawberry, I love cinnamon, but the POWDER is so overwhelming. It makes it smell like a cheap fragrance that they use in portable toilets. I use it in our toilet because the scent lasts for days, but unfortunately I will not be wearing it out of the toilet 😷 since the fragrance does last so long and was delivered fast, I will be ordering a different scent from El Nabil. The price you pay for the sillage is incredible and the bottles are very heavy and good quality. Hope this helps.

This isn't very good. I wish it would more gentle. The first spray smells very intense and powdery, then it turns into fake strawberry. No, thank you.

Disgusting chemical strawberry bubblegum scent that has zero appeal to it whatsoever. I hate it on my own skin, and I'd hate anybody who walked around wearing this. I don't see anything redeeming about this perfume. Threw away the sample I got of it without hesitation.

Smells exactly like toilet freshener in nice restaurants.......... not exactly what I would like to smell like.

There are few perfumes with a strawberry note that I like. Although I bought it with some fear after seeing it recommended in a video about the brand (thanks Perfumisticous!), luckily this is one of them. It is an almost linear fragrance that smells like ripe strawberry jam with cinnamon and vanilla. The hint of almond is subtle. The amber and musk in the background do not feel heavy or prevail over the fruity part. The strawberry is somewhat synthetic, of course. This has happened to me with practically all the strawberry perfumes I've tried (it tends to happen less when the composition is somewhat lactonic) but luckily I still find it pleasant. The result is a ripe strawberry perfume, which I would not describe as youthful or simple at all. The spicy touch of cinnamon and the amber background give it character and depth. It has a moderate-noticeable sillage and a duration on my skin that exceeds 12 hours. Unfortunately I don't know Mukhallat to compare them. In combination with a perfume that has notes of red fruits and is creamy or lactonic, such as Yara by Lattafa or Mad Love by Katy Perry, it is simply delicious. This perfume brings its slightly more adult touch to the mix and its synthetic aspects are lost a bit. I love it! In short, an inexpensive perfume with good quality and very good performance like the others that I have tried from the brand El Nabil, to which I am looking forward to placing another order because it has really liked me.

This smells like the African unrefined raw Shea butter from back home if you know then you know. It has a warm buttery vibe probably from the amber with a ton of musk. Gives me Mukhallat vibe but this is so much more plasticky, amber musk not as sweet or smooth like Montale's. Amber + Musk that's it, will wait to try in winter sold it !
