Akoya

Sweet but not overly sweet raspberry and citruses perfectly balanced with some florals and patchouli, sandalwood and a hint of leather in the base. Caramel adds another subtle layer of sweetness in the mid. Lasts a very long time as expected from a Gissah fragrance and projects very well for hours and hours (on clothes until the next wash!) Will certainly get you the odd compliment, but Akoya stands head and shoulders above your average crowd pleasing designer scent. Can be worn in Fall, Winter and on most Spring days, at least here in Western-Europe. Personally I don't think far-fetched comparisons to Oud Maracuja and even Imperial Valley are very useful in understanding this blend. 9.6/10

This is a big daddy of Gissah a great house from Kuwait. The best out of there league. Bottle itself is sexy. Nice touch to it. Boxing is creative. The projection is double beast. When it talks it just doesn't scream it beats bigggggg loud.. Few extra sprays and you shall be notable from long distance easily a Hall filler. Probably not a blind buy for many soft noses. It's not an office or professional wear

I was on a look out for a sweet woody fragrance with a hint of sandalwood and was unable to find what my nose was actually looking for. Tried Oud Maracuja, Noir Kogane but both were missing a note or two. Tried this at a Gissah shop in Doha and instantly fell in love. It's a compliment magnet, with beast mode performance and longevity. Now it has become my signature fragrance.

This is a vary nice sent top not of raspberry and citrus and a bases of woods patchouli and leather it is raspberry dominant but the oriental base not dose balanced out much like Oud Maracujá that are both fruit balanced with oriental there are very different this one is furniture more summer casual and scratchy in a good way

عطر جميل شتوي خريفي ، افتتاحية فكاهية سويتي ، لكن القاعدة فيها نوتات جلود قوية وواضحة لكنها غير مكتوبة هنا ، العطر بأداء ممتاز العطر يذكرك بعود ماركوجا لكن ليس بديل له ، وجه التشابه بين العطرين هو وجود نوتات فاكهية سويتية بقاعدة جلدية ، لكن الفرق الأساسي هو عدم وجود الباشن والعود
