Dahab

Wow, what an interesting scent. First spray was complex, juicy sweet but deep and multifaceted. Then it evolved into something I wasn't as into, strong musk, almost dusty when combined with the earthiness of the patchouli. And then after a while... gates of heaven opened and that delicious, bright, photorealistic passionfruit came through in a hug of amber, clinging onto clothes and projecting sweetness over an "old books" type musk accord for many hours after the initial spray. It's perfectly unisex, but I think it gives more of a warm and inviting vibe on men and a mysterious, luxurious vibe on women. It's not a very casual scent but it could be pulled off as such by the right person, and I think it'd be best on people late 20s or older. A lot of reviews judge it to be a summer scent but I beg to differ. The prominent musk accord and the sweetness, with its massive longevity and large projection, may be too much if you live anywhere where it gets genuinely very hot or humid. I think it'd shine best on a brisk autumn day so I can't wait to wear it on a day like that myself.

I'm not so much into fruity fragrances, but this... I have no idea what THIS is, only that THIS IS AMAZING. I bought a 5oz sample to try. I sprayed it yesterday before stepping out into the high heat of the day to meet up with my gf for lunch. When I hugged her, she immediately asked - what are you wearing, wow ! Then moving along our day, we did some shopping, and I was approached by the sales rep and he asked and said the same thing. I was worried, just based off of the notes this would smell like some cheap fruity overly sweet fragrance, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I still don't think this is a safe blind buy, but if you do get to try it, I don't think it'll disappoint. This smells WAY more elegant than I expected. The notes blend beautifully. Needless to say this is FB worthy. I went ahead and bought a full bottle right away. SO happy i have this in my collection. It smells like nothing I own.

~ Peaches ~ Juicy Home Grown Peaches ~ ~ Peach Nectar From A Tin Of Peaches ~ ~ 3 of us tested this at the same time in store and it’s one of the most beautiful fruit fragrances I have smelt. ~ We all smelt slightly different, from the juicy over ripened peach picked from the tree, the peaches being cut up for for jam or stewed peaches to the nectar in a can of peaches. ~ I bought a bottle for a friends birthday and it is divine on his skin and he has since told me it lasted 4 days on his skin from the original test in store. ~ I snuck back to the store a week later to purchase a bottle for myself as it is one of the few fragrances I couldn’t live without owning. ~ No indication of the Passion Fruit listed or the tartness ~ ~ Nectar Of The Gods ~

So, Dahab...You're really going to show up on my doorstep and take my breath away, huh? Ok, mission accomplished! Dahab was an impulsive blind-buy GONE RIGHT! It opens with the green apple but within 10 minutes, it morphs into the sweetest peach note! Like somehow the way the passionfruit and green apple are blended comes off as peach on my skin and I'm in TOTAL love. Thankfully, the musk is blended into submission to allow the fruits to shine. Now hear this... THoO's Bon Bon Pop clearly was inspired by Dahab!!! But I hated that one, and I've fallen head over heels for Dahab. 💚

I totally agree with Pauline99,this is mostly a very straightforward passion fruit-scent:slightly tangy in the opening with the apple-note, later very sweet, but not overly so due to the cedar, and in the dry-down layered with amber,musk and patchouli. The passionfruit is for me the star, all other notes are slightly insignificant byplayers. It is a lovely summer scent, totally uncomplicated, some would call it a ,,crowd-pleaser fruitchouli", personally I would say it is uplifting and perfect for a stressful day at work, with great longevity and good sillage.
