Miraj Exclusif

There are times in life when you ought to close your ears to the thoughts of naysayers and give whatever you're considering a try. Take a chance and launch out into the deep to know for yourself the true reality behind the smoky screen - good or bad, you'll be the judge of that! Blind buying Miraj Exclusif was to me one of those important fragtimes, and a very successful time it turned out to be indeed! Have you ever considered what the alliance of quality hints of coffee, indolic jasmine sambac, ground cardamom, a little wafting of incense and a dollop of smooth, buttery vanilla, could do to one's senses? If you have, and the very thought of this excites you, then be roused to purchase a sample of Miraj Exclusif. Sampling this fragrance is key - don't rush into a blind buy if your heart doesn't dance to the tune of indoles and spices. There are few fragrances I could say with confidence will always have a unique place in my collection, Miraj Exclusif happens to be one of them. If you love dark, vampirish but smooth fragrances like YSL's Opium, EL's Cinnabar, etc, I can see you loving Miraj Exclusif. A strong like tipping over into love, for the books.

As the name of the og (bewitching yasmin) implies, this fragrance is literally bewitching. It’s primarily a warm, spicy vanilla with sweet jasmine and coffee in the background. However, it's not suited for the timid, as its potency packs a punch. This scent unfolds with an intense dose of extremely well-done cardamom note, accompanied by a sweet, slightly grape-y jasmine which gets stronger as it develops, subtle coffee undertones, and a rich incensy and slightly oudy vanilla base. The oud isn’t too much or the main player here. It just adds richness to the base. To fully appreciate this masterpiece, one must have a fondness for bold, spicy fragrances. Interestingly, I've compared it to Bewitching Yasmin, which I have a sample of, and the similarity is striking – approximately 90% identical, with only minor distinctions. Considering the price point, it's an exceptional value. This fragrance exudes a dark, gothic allure, making it enchanting due to its unique and mysterious quality. I would caution novice fragrance enthusiasts against blind-buying, as its distinctive profile may not appeal to everyone.

This was a very successful blind buy. It is soooooo good and grows even better the more it matures. I have never had my nose on The Bewitching so I cannot compare the two. It does remind me a little bit of Liam and BDK Gris Charnel Extrait (not a dupe at all - the cardamom note just seems similar). Miraj has the same lovely, calming cardamom as the above-mentioned, but it is much sweeter and way more feminine. I would wear this mostly in colder weather and on date night. This is my husband’s favourite perfume on me from my whole collection. Simply lovely. Update: I finally had the opportunity to test The Bewitching Yasmine by Penhaligon and it is almost impossible to tell them apart. It is also similar to Initio’s Psychedelic Love and ever so slightly similar to Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir. Not a 1:1 by any means, but in the same family. P.S. this layers extremely well with the Babycat scent profile (Eau de Audacity, Rifaqaat, Fierte).

I never had the chance to try the original, but this reminds me a lot of bdk tabac rose, with Mugler's Alien jasmin instead of the rose, and I'm super happy with this blind buy ❤️ Performance....I really don't know if maceration is a thing or not(not very familiar with arabic houses or chemistry:)) ) but as it stands, right out of the package...it does last a long time but it doesn't project a lot, which I don't mind, science this scent profile can be a lot. For the money... it's well worth it and I do not regret my purchase at all, the quality of the smell is there form the first spray until the fragrance dies down, no weird smells whatsoever. The oud in here is also very friendly, quite nice actually, goes together very well with the other notes. A statement fragrance for the cold weather ❤️

This one is just a masterpiece! It's definitely "niche" smelling; not for the masses. It starts as a blast of cardamom and incense with some faint white flower, most people will hate and find it too cloying and esoteric, but the dry down of this scent is absolutely gorgeous. It dries to a sweet incensy-woody vanilla, so addictive! Cant stop smelling myself whenever I use this fragrance. I sense little to no coffee on this, which is a bum because I love coffee notes. Usability is limited: Colder months and night time only! I like to use on date nights when i know i'll be sniffed closely. Female leaning; 25+; 10/10 for people who love statement fragrances. Not a safe blind buy, even tho i did it and do not regret
