Hareem Al Sultan Gold

To start this review, Amazon sells legit bottles of this, but you will have to pay extra close attention to the box, details, and the bottle itself. Aroma alchemy - on Amazon, sells legit bottles, which is where I purchased mine. On to the fragrance. For me, this lived up to the hype. This stuff is SEXXXXXY! it's sweet, fruity, sultry, intoxicating, and still mature without being too complicated or dated. This, in my opinion, smells like some bougie candy. Like, fancy gummy bears or something. It's really beautiful, and just so good! The fragrance scent profile only changes slightly throughout the entirety of the fragrance, it gets more sultry and less fruity/sweet. But the sweet, candy like fruitiness does last untill the very end. I don't get a lot of the notes listed, it's much more fruity and sweet than I expected. I think anyone would really like this particular fragrance, if you also happen to enjoy fragrances by Brittney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Rihanna, juicy couture, etc. To me, this is mass appealing, but it's still sexy, and quite special. It would be so perfect for a night out, or date night. You will smell good enough to eat! I think guy's will LOVE THIS. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase. And I will also be purchasing the silver one at some point in the future 😊 My only real complaint is that, on my body, this sits relatively close to the skin. Lasting power, and projection are pretty average in my opinion, but that might just be my body chemistry. This was worth every single penny, I'm very happy with my purchase. An EDIT: I PUT this fragrance on one of my best friends, and it smelled very different. It was much more vanilla forward, and musky. I was shocked how different it was on her skin.

I was surprised by how much I like this because it seemed to be targeted at a younger age group and I'm in my 40s. I started with the oil, which I bought out of curiosity. The opening is tropical fruits, mostly pineapple, but I swear there's some strawberry in there even though it's not part of the note list. The fruitiness remains throughout the life of the scent, but the fragrance becomes a bit richer and more dimensional as the sandalwood and musk chime in. The dry-down has an unburned fruity incense quality to it, which is the point at which I was hooked. This is an accord I adore but never see listed or described, so I never know when I'll be fortunate enough to come across it. I ended up buying the EDP as well once it was released, and the EDP smells just like the oil, right down to the unburned-fruity-incense-dry-down. The EDP projects a bit more than the oil, but isn't over-the-top. I love layering the two. I also love layering the oil under other perfumes from my collection. It adds a pop of fruity joy to a variety of fragrances without overtaking them. This is very much a casual scent — I would not wear this to a dress-up event and it's too playful for the office. But it's perfect for days when you're just spending time with friends, running errands, or doing some sort of outdoor activity. Also interesting to me is this fragrance's versatility — at first, it may seem like this perfume would be strictly for daytime, but the dry down also works for nighttime. Similarly, the fruits make for an obvious summer choice, but the base notes are hardy enough for cold days as well. Hareem Al Sultan Gold is joyful and unpretentious. It's lighthearted but not juvenile. It's just here to smell good and make people happy.

This fragrance a big old fruit bomb and I love it! It smells so good! It's delicious! It opens up with a giant fruit punch opening and then softens to a lovely fragrance with some depth. I get mostly fruits but I also detect some floral notes and a sandalwood creamy base. I have nothing bad to say about this gem. You must buy the Khadlaj version of this fragrance and if it does not say Khadlaj then you have a phony version of it. I received the perfume oil with a 20mL sample of the EDP in a weird credit card like plastic container. My only regret is that I didn't just go with my original idea to buy the large 100mL EDP. I was afraid of the mixed reviews so I went with the $26 oil with sample and while its nice to have the fragrance oil, I would have rather just gotten the actual perfume. At least I can layer it now for added longevity. I know that when my sample card is empty I'm going to buy a FB of this stuff. If you like fruity, sweet girly perfumes then you're going to love this one. Comparing the EDP with the oil, the oil is fruitier. The EDP has a softer, powdery note. I do not get Viva la Juicy at all. VS Tease smells live Viva la Juicy. This is it's own scent. With the oil, I get about 30 minutes of pure fruitiness before I get any other notes. The EDP has more musk, sandalwood, and subtle patchouli right from the start. So if you're wanting the fruit bomb, get the oil. If you want a softer, floral-fruity with a powdery dry down, get the EDP. If you're like me and you want it all, get both!

I love this fragrance!! I am so glad they released it as an EDP as well, I just feel better when I’m actually able to SPRAY fragrance. I still like the oil for my pulse points, but having the EDP makes it a lot more wearable for me!! As far as the fragrance goes, I absolutely love it. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people felt it to be juvenile, but personally that doesn’t bother me too much. It just smells so wonderful!! I am not great at detecting notes but to me this smells very fruity. I have a difficult time seeing this fragrance as anything other than feminine, but the gold version is definitely more unisex than the silver. Unfortunately the oil alone doesn’t seem to last great on my skin, but I think pairing it with the EDP and having some on my clothing will help a lot. . Might be worth purchasing another bottle and making a purse size roller, or even a little spray (for skin only not clothing). Despite being someone who does not like having to reapply fragrance throughout the day, I love this scent enough that it is worth it to me to decant a bit and bring it along with me. A note on price - I definitely do find this fragrance to be worth the price, and probably even more. That said, it does annoy me that it’s only available in one size.... When I love something, I feel so much better when I have an abundance of it! Not that I can’t purchase more, but I dislike that it is only available in what feels to me as miniature.

I bought this for $50. at Showcase. It’s made in UAE and with the ornate bottle comes a smaller sized spray in the shape of a flat rectangle. First, I love this. 10/10 for me. It begins with a burst of syrupy fruits. Then the fruit transitions to powdery fruit candies like Smarties. All the while there’s an anchoring base of creamy musk, sandalwood and patchouli, which I think gives it a kind of deep chocolate-vanilla vibe. I consider this a sweet fragrance, richly so, with the candy-like aspect of jasmine without the pungency of in-your-nose jasmine. Oddly enough, there’s something lending a saltiness. I haven’t any idea how, what or why, but it compares to the saltiness that Miss Dior Cherie has and well as the kind that Alien Goddess has. Alien Goddess has coconut water and coconut water has electrolytes so that’s what comes to mind. Anyway, this has zero bad stages. As LANashgirl said, wear it to bed and awaken to a very nice scent. It stays fruity and sweetly musky for a long time and finishes with a slightly sweet and less tart version of itself. I can also understand where Catswearingperfume gets the unburned incense. This reminds me of the Gonesh Incense Cones I used to buy in the 80’s that were in the green package. Lastly, I find the bottle to be opulent and very pretty. I like that it has a dipping wand, which makes it so fun to apply—-and you don’t need much.
