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.

This is totally signature scent worthy! The best passionfruit I’ve ever smelled. The fruitness is premer through the whole time. It has a freshness to it. Amber gives some sweetness.The musk is soft and easy on the nose. Thankfully, its linear, what you get in the first spray is what it’ll smell it’s whole. One of the most versatile fragrances in my collection. The balance between fruitness, freshness and sweetness makes it suit for any occasion, any season. To my nose, this doesn’t smell like Erba Pura or Kirke

Kajal make some truly lovely fragrances. I am already an admirer of Lemar and Dahab is already lining up just behind. It’s a golden, sweet(ish) fruity/woody invention whose aura has a dense, almost creamy quality. Other than the crisp bite of green apple in the opening the passion fruit at its heart is the dominant note which is sustained right the way through to the story’s end. Elegant, opulent, delicious and with good longevity and silage, Dahab is an exotic creature well worth getting to know. I love it!

Was not expecting to like this as I really dislike Kirke and find Erba pura musk too screechy (but love Erba pura magica). This was an immediate buy after testing randomly in store. Very bright apple and passion fruit opening which dries down to a sweet vanilla with a little fruitiness on me. Surprisingly, this works really well in both warm and cool days as there is the cosiness in the base notes. Does have some shampoo vibes (which I love) but not synthetic at all, you can definitely smell the quality.

Dahab is a warm and inviting fragrance that captures the essence of a sweet apple pie, perfectly balanced with notes of amber and bergamot. The initial burst of Granny Smith apples gives way to a sweet blend of vanilla and caramel, creating a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a fall day. This gourmand scent is both intoxicating and comforting, appealing to those who cherish sweetness in their fragrances. Its strong longevity and projection ensure that its delightful aroma lingers throughout the day.

Have I ever told you that Dahab of the entire Kajal Classic line is my favorite? I am strongly attracted to the apple, fresh, crunchy, green, which, accompanied by a wonderful symphony of notes, gives this fragrance sensuality and elegance at the same time. It is exceptionally good, fresh, brings joy and does not go unnoticed. Truly one of the few fruity ones that I appreciate and which obviously ended up on the wishlist. Beautiful. “Fruit Basket” by Caravaggio, yes, it really deserves it.

Yummy. Airy fresh and fruity without being too sweet or nose piercing. The musks (if here) don’t bother me. I can see why people say Kirke - but it’s fresher, without the woods and musks. This is something I want to wear in the heat during the day. Kirke I’ll wear more in the evening. I’ve not yet tried EP but I intend on getting my nose on it for reference. I have a generous decant that I’m wearing next to the heater in winter. I would love a bottle of this for the summer 😍

Wow this is absolutely incredible as someone who does not enjoy fruity sweet scents. Super natural smell like biting into the most luscious fruit. I personally get a big peachy vibe here but its so well rounded, not at all harsh. My grandmother used to have this massive peach candle (dusty because it was never lit) and this totally reminds me of it. It likes what my childhood brain was processing now 25 years later - somewhat dream like if im honest. What a gem!!

Q80, it is passion fruit, go to the official site to see the notes. Very similar to Erba Pura but not so strong and heavy. Actually both are created by Christian Carbonnel. In my opinion Dahab is better than Erba Pura. This one is stunning, balanced and with great sillage and longevity. The passion fruit with the cedar is sexy and divine. I do not get too much patchouli, but exquisite amber and musk in the base.

What a tropical fruit blast! I love it! The blast of passionfruit comes first, other fruits are secondary, but noticeable. It's nowhere near Xerjoff Erba pura or Mancera Jardin exclusif, there is no strange medicinal sharpness of Erba pura or Jardin exclusif. The sillage is good, but not offensive. Can't tell about longevity yet, I'm writing my first impressions.

This is a fragrance of extremes-- I like it in summer and and winter. It's sharp and sour with a pulverized spice that tickles my nose; it's a bright, seductive, wild ride in a fast, expensive supercar. If "Dear Polly"by Vilhelm is a rich, sleek, refined, cared-for passenger in repose, Dahab is all sexy drive (and they're both fantastic.)

This is a lovely fruity musky scent! You definitely get the passion fruit and green apple in the opening. If you enjoy tart fruity scents then you would like this with a sweetness to it. It does change though so not a linear scent. I like all phases equally. The fruitiness isn’t as strong in the dry down but it doesn’t completely go away.

First thing I think of when I spray this is green apple candy. Then the passion fruit shows up. It’s a fruity, musky, candy like fragrance without being overly sweet. It drys down into a fruity, amber, musk. Feminine opening, unisex drydown. Great longevity. To me this dose not smell anything like Erba Pura.

At first I didn't like it, but gave it a few more tries and now I love it. Very loud, so easy on the sprays. Fruity and woody with a little patchouli. Agree with the review below that this would probably do best in the cooler months of spring and autumn and would turn skanky in high heat.

This has been love at first sniff! if you want to be enveloped in a classy juicy fruity sensual cloud, take that! It is not chemical and extremely pleasant and feminine, longlasting and seductive, perfect for a date. I cannot smell any comparison with Erba Pura. BIG LOVE, FB worth 5/5

Tropical(fruity) warm a little, classy This fragrance it’s not like all type of fruity fragrance It’s fancy long lasting You can get a good vibe from others just in few minutes with 2spray Good point of this perfume : Nobody can understand what you wear but they like it so much 🤍
