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.

For an oil, this oddly has an alcohol scent to it on the dry down. For the effect I expected Layali Rouge is definitely better in my opinion. I won't re-order this but I will use it up. Nothing to offensive about it but not the mouthwatering goddess eating fruit experience some have reported. If you are looking for that like I said definitely try Layali Rouge way more edible tropical fruit notes and much more decadent dry down. Updated: Okay... I will be repurchasing this oil but mostly because I have been mixing it with Layali Rouge which helps the longevity of the oil and also brings out more of the fruit scents I was looking forward too from this scent. If you have this and Layali Rouge definitely try the combo, it's addictive and edible. For the scent itself, I will say the maceration is helping with the alcoholic scent I mentioned in my initial review. It's still there but I find it has faded so I am guessing it will eventually go away altogether. It's still not what I imagined from the reactions on Tik-Tok but if you like sweet ambery scents that also have those notes of tropical fruit this one might be the one for you. Or if you have Layali Rouge and you want to add some deeper sweet notes and depth to that oil this one would be a good option for layering.

Accessible, linear gateway drug to Middle Eastern/UAE frags! I love the fruitiness, it's so juicy and fun to layer. I love really dousing myself in this stuff to see how much I can get away with wearing before my man makes a comment...LOL... I like that it's an oil and not a spritz/alcohol. Gives it a good albeit short-lived scent payoff without being irritating. I will say that the EDP format is also stellar. I love the bottle and applicator is a good length. The Silver and Blue flankers are also fabulous! The Silver wears like an elevated sweet baby powder scent, which I love. I have reviewed that one accordingly. The Blue flanker is nowhere to be found on Fragrantica...even though I supplied the forums with the description...grumble grumble. To those wondering the Blue is a lot like Gold and Silver just wears a little more like a fresh floral. My rank from most to least loved is Gold, Blue, Silver, for the Hareem al Sultan oils. FWIW, Hareem al Sultan Gold is very similar to Swiss Arabian a) Layali Rouge or b) Jamila, IMHO. Fruity florals giving way to a comforting cushion of santal. It's as if your fav comfort frags from B&BW or VS magical-girl-transformed into a modern MENSA attar.

.... I like it. My mother gave me her sample of it, said it wasn't for her, it took me a year to give it a try. But the reason I like it is a bit messed up. On my skin, it's turning into "new car" air freshener, a bit of musk, and fruit. It's taking me back to some fun college memories. I keep smelling my wrist and it's staying about the same. Out of the bottle, it reminded me of my favorite cleaning detergents. Now? I think I could wear this daily. It's pleasant, soft, and fun, like sitting in the back seat of some shy business major's Ford Focus, and he's got the black, tree-shaped air freshener hanging from the rear view. The scent could seem generic to some. Side rant, I really wish tiktokers would stop buying viral perfumes and then coming here and bitching about it being generic. Baby, YOU blind bought a widely-appealing perfume. It didn't go viral for no reason. It smells tasty. They've chosen loveable notes. You're like a music snob complaining about hearing Black Eyed Peas on the radio in 2010. What, did you think Hits 99 Pop Music was gonna play Dead Can Dance? Rachmaninoff? No. It's The Time (Dirty Bit) for the 87th time today. Stop acting surprised.

I blind bought this when it was viral on TikTok and I am so glad I did! It's my new signature scent. It's very citrusy with moderate peach notes. It's not vanilla sweet or citrus sour. I think it's the perfect balance of playful and sexy. This perfume gets me the most complements from people. To describe the scent, it reminds me of the way a pineapple ague Fresca looks and tastes. ((if you don't know what that is you can google it, but its so good!)) I pick up mostly pineapple and bergamot with gentle peach hints. It's not too floral or musky but just a pinch of them. It radiates beautifully and I never go nose blind to it. (Which I love!) Because it's an oil the scent is more concentrated. The initial scent is more pineappley citrus and peach, she stands loud and proud, the dry down is a little more floral but the pineapple doesn't go away, she just sits down and relaxes a little. I don't recommend layering this scent with anything fruity or vanilla because its fragrance is already so distinct, maybe just a simple floral would layer well. If you like fruity scents THIS.IS.THE.ONE.

This is lovely! It’s fruity and fresh and shampooey. It reminds me of versace eros pour femme EDT, but less citrusy and more fruity. When you first apply it, it smells like juicy grapefruit and pineapple, but as it dries down it becomes softer and a bit powdery. I got the EDP spray too, and they both smell exactly the same. The perfume oil probably smells 5% more fruity, but they are pretty much the same. I layer them both and get a lovely, clean, fruity, out of the shower scent. 🍍🍋🚿 I highly reccomend getting the EDP if you have the oil, or even if you don’t have the oil, I would say still get the EDP since it is easier to spray and you can spray it over clothes. -PS. Just thought I would share a few ways I use the perfume oil if anyone is interested in trying:😊 1- Put directly onto skin (pulse points) 2- Mix in with your lotion 3- Put a small amount throughout your hair it smells amazing and lasts all day

A personal favourite. Not overrated. Wearable and not cloying. Longevity is appalling and I am currently trying to reach Khadlaj to have them create a perfume spray of this that has the same notes (the other spray under the same name by Khadlaj is different) so that I can have this in it's true excellence. What this smells of is exactly pineapple gummy bears but luxurious, like dipped in gold. The packaging is exquisite and beautiful. Unfortunately this does not last long at all. I would bathe myself in this. A lot more universal than other Arabian peninsula perfumes I own and wearable during the day time. Breathable, elegant and expertly done. For the fragrance itself, this is a 10/10 and its shortcomings are just compensated for by the fragrance. whoever formulated this, your ideas are good.

As fruity, as fruity can get! Absolutely beautiful scent, it’s juicy, refreshing, and almost has a fresh made pineapple salad presentation(not overly gourmand, though). I have the oil and it lasts about a good 5-6 hours on my skin, to me personally, for a fragrance oil, not too bad at all! It also projects quite nicely as well, I wear it to clubs often and as my body heats up, of course it definitely becomes more noticeable and the compliments in the bathroom are always a plus. Beautiful bottle, very affordable and lasts a fair amount of time on the skin! The hype is real. I genuinely feel this is an all ages perfume, mature AND youthful individuals can absolutely wear this. Fruity, slightly flowery, and a touch of musk in all the RIGHT ways! Happy spraying.

I showed up late to the party on this, but better late than never. I absolutely adore this. It was a blind buy and from the very first whiff, it was love. Its amazing on its own, but I often use vanilla scented lotions and it works well with them. Sometimes I put some on at bedtime because its just that good. I get the fruity from the start and its incredible, but as the day progresses on my skin it smells like some kind of beautiful imported incense, not the kind sold in some gas stations beside "tobacco pipes". It has singlehandedly reignited my interest in wearing fragrances that aren't just a lightly scented lotion again and strangely enough has been a confidence boost, which I needed, and I will always have a soft spot for it.

This is a perfume I saw on TikTok. I was skeptical and it seemed overhyped at the time, but I absolutely loved it. I tend to be very picky about my fruity scents but this one knocked it out of the park! Everytime I wear it I feel quite luxurious and everytime I move I can smell it. I love putting the oil in my hair then I can even smell it on me a little into the next day. My partner adores this scent too and I always get compliments on it when I go out. I know there are many fakes out there that claim to be the real deal but try this scent! Search high and low for the real deal and don’t trust the TikTok shop. I total must have for my fruity perfume fans

OHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD. Please fragrantica update your database to include the bottle/spray version. Let me profess my love in proper form. I've tried both versions of this, and now own the bottle. The oil version did not work for me, at all. It smelled like melted gummy bears and laundry detergent to my nose, but mostly the latter. The spray version however? Everything I liked about the oil, except none of that laundry detergent facet, and an amped up citrus. The way this smells in the air is nothing short of intoxicating. It's the love child of orange skittles, gummy bears, and a bouquet of miscellaneous florals topped with musk. Divine.

If you don't love it at first, give it a month. Initially I was disappointed a heavy alcohol that stayed even upon dry down. Fortunately it just needed to macerate. Where once I got a spilled fruit cocktail drying to little more than the knowledge I had put something there an hour or two ago, I now am greeted by a sophisticated fruit sweetness that lasts all day or all night. Sandalwood, musk and vanilla sit so neatly between fruits and florals building something simple but with depth... If you haven't tried this yet it's worth it. Can confidently say I have learned the importance of maceration thanks to this one.

This frag is like a fancy pineapple, but with a golden twist – it's rich, sweet, and you totally remember it. I was looking for some essential oils, and BAM! Found this affordable gem and was totally blown away by how good it is. At first, it's all juicy pineapple, super refreshing, like a summer treat. Then it mellows into a soft, tropical floral with a cool depth. Compared to others, this one felt way more me. The longevity is great too; it's there all day, but not overpowering. Plus, people love it! It's easy to wear but still makes a statement. Perfect for everyday!

I absolutely love it! Once heard from a review that it smells like cheap vanilla, and let me tell you something, it's very sweet and very citrusy. If you are a man hater, don't buy it, because the amount of compliments I got from men it's actually crazy - they love it. So, If you are a man lover, which would be very weird (sorry!), you'll get their attention. If I was to describe it as a historical event, I'd say Roman Empire or Second World War, because men are obsessed with those. Overall, it's one of my favourites.

this is a well blended fruity musky fragrance infused with sweet peony. It's so pretty that might force our mind to play fantasies: from a daughter of filthy rich sheikh to horny princess jasmine. However, nothing innocent about this perfume. It's strong, heavily musky, slow progression and sexual inducing. So yes, it's somehow a pheromone that brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours. I can teach you, but I have to charge

This is a chameleon of a scent, as most feminine middle eastern perfume oils are. You can wear them with so many other things and they will still smell good. Al Sultan Gold is fruity sweet like a clear gummy bear (pineapple) but with none of the tartness of pineapple in nature. It's synthetic but in a good way? A touch floral, but in a way that's super easy to wear. I have both the oil and the EDP spray and I think the oil is a little better, but I prefer the spray applicator.
