Sahara Rose Absolute

While reminiscent of other rose/oud perfumes....I found this one to be quite beautiful, evolutionary and long lasting. It was a super strong hit of oud at the open. The rose quickly came to the dance and then it was joined by a sprinkle of pepper and a delightfully surprising incense note. The dry down a comforting musky/amber with the slightest memory of rose. In comparison to others it is well worth the purchase for the price. And I have an affinity for the brand founders, Shakir and Tabassum...they are a darling couple! Feels like the perfect night out fragrance on a warm summer night when you want the room to feel your presence. Put on a slinky red silk slip dress, a nice pair of stilletto's and take a slow walk arm in arm with your man.

“A flower in the desert is not an accident, it is an opportunity.” Sahara Rose is a wonderful combination of rose with oud, very well balanced (which is quite rare to find), with this fresh, newly blooming flower with its inebriating scent, which stands out over oriental and spicy undertones. Very sophisticated, it doesn't come across as suffocating like so many others scents for me, but really fresh and extremely sensual, but with a simple and clean sensuality that is undraped by the opulent nuances that sometimes overshadow the Queen of Flowers. Really good work, refined and for lovers of the genre a must have. “Landscape with Butterflies” painted by Salvador Dali.

I have been waiting for this to hit the database. Absolutely LOVE this fragrance. It came with the Men's sample set. Some say it leans feminine. Just because it has rose, doesn't mean it is feminine. A real gem. Wish it projected several feet. That is the confidence I have wearing this. I want everyone around me to know it. My favorite from the house.

What a pretty fragrance. This is pretty and not femenine at all keep that in perspective. Opens up with a cheese Oud 🪵 but only last a few minutes then turn into a saffron y rose combo. This is really good I am surprised 😳 I might get a full bottle soon.

Have a light hand applying. Love it, but really strong on my skin-not in a bad way, I’m a rose junkie. Wore it to an opera and enjoyed the cloud of it around me. I think people sitting around me also enjoyed it lol
