Sheikh Al Shuyukh Markaz Concentrated

At first it’s projection is weak but after two months maceration it becomes so strong (for a cool fragrance). For first 4 hours pineapple and melon are flourishing then woody scent becomes dominant.

Very good. It's a sweeter CDNI. Too bad the performance is like 6 or 7 hours, tops Tbh, it's better than CDNI. More fruity and sweeter, but very balanced with the citrus.

Underrated banger from Lattafa. There are definitely comparisons to make with Aventus where that smoky pineapple note plays a supportive roll in the opener, but the clean lime is the much more forefront scent. That lime doesn't overstay its welcome before it becomes a nice and dare I say safe scent. Like a nice old spice deodorant. But as someone who does not enjoy those super grassy or green apple douchey YSL/Rabanne accords and find the Tygar-sphere a bit dull, this is actually rather tolerable for a freshie. It smells like a handsome older brother who has Guitar Hero 3 on his PS2. It's got a subtle woody backbone and it's not that sweet. It's not reinventing the wheel and the longevity isn't great.. But it's oh so wonderfully inoffensive, refreshing, and remarkably priced.

How can a perfume under 20 euros be so good? I clearly smell the pepper, bergamot, and lemon—clean, fresh, and spicy. After the opening, the lemon holds up well, and the citrus continues into the second accord, with lily of the valley and jasmine. The leather, patchouli, and white musk maintain an earthy finish, while remaining clean. It doesn't linger for long; on mine, it lasts about 6 hours, leaving the delicious scent lasting a long time. For the price, I definitely recommend it; it surprised me.

Good fruity opening that dries down really woody and peppery on my skin. Open is good, but not a fan when it dries down. Would be good without the pepper notes in it.
