Niche Emarati Al Jawhara

For me, this fragrance is proof that my preference has changed and developed over time. When I first got into perfume as a hobby, I leaned heavily on gourmands, easily translated notes, and avoided all things spicy. I once even determined that I would never like oud on me, specifically (love it otherwise). Naive, I know. Anyway, this one changed all of that. I got it on a whim, playing blind buy roulette. When I first smelled it, right out of the box, I felt like I had made a mistake. But, I let it sit until colder drier weather arrived (about two months). I layered it with vanilla lotion and perfume oil. The result was my first foray into something that had more depth and wasn't floral or gourmand leaning in a mass appeal sense. This is a more mature organic cinnamon fragrance. Plum, cinnamon, musk, and patchouli are present for sure, and recognizable. The other notes are new to me and I don't have the skill set to discuss them individually. What I can say is that this is a rich, easy spiced, cozy feeling scent. I think I will enjoy this as the weather continues to get colder. It has a smokey/earthy element to it that I kinda like. This is NOT a safe blind buy. If you do choose to take a risk, go into it with an open mind, try it on days with different temperatures and humidity levels. If it is too sharp, pair it with some vanilla undertones (shower gel, lotion, oil).

I adore Al Jawhara, it's soft and sweet on me. It doesn't have an almond note listed yet I get a sort of airy marzipan candy/candied almond note from it and a hint of plum. So delicious. It's light and soft, sort of a creamy dried powdery quality honeyed sweetness. I don't think it is the same but it reminds me of the memories I have of Guerlain Météorites powder mixed with sugared almonds 💕🍬🍭

“No i dont think you understand... im O B S E S S E D” Plum coulis, cinnamon, cognac, maybe clove? Butter? Cocoa? Maybe we will never know. Not exactly a gourmand but very edible, cant well explain it. Sweet labdanum. Thickkkk, embodied. Half of me is sorry for this being so slept on, and the other half is so glad this isnt everywhere. The quality. Please.

I like this one a lot. Smells bubble gummy when first sprayed (not too sweet, just yummy) and then 10 mins later on my skin it turns into a combo of a floral cinnamon bubble gum combo. DELICIOUS! Projection moderate, longevity 6-7, hours. Compliments getter for sure! Of all the niche emarati collection (I have 6) - this and Antique I like the most.

This is one beautiful fragrance. This has that sweet plum that will have some saying feminine and a green note that some will say makes it masculine. There is something at the base that feels like it doesn't fit, not sure if it's the davana, but it doesn't quite fit. This is truly a niche level profile, it's beautiful.
