Sama Al Emarat

Fairly new to collecting but building nicely with around 20 picked up over the last 6 months. Must say that I’m really enjoying this one. I’m not experienced enough to give a proper breakdown of notes etc but would say this is warm, powdery, a little spicy with some nice wood. Sweet but not overly so. I found the opening a little challenging in the beginning but got used to it and I actually love it now. Great performance and value for money. Definitely one of my favourites. Couple months macerating makes a massive difference. Highly recommended x

I am privileged to be the first to review this gorgeous scent ! This is a transparent grey amber scent with sap like aoud making this fragrance has the feel of honey almost. There is a unmistakably inky vetiver like nuance to this fragrance, but this fragrance feels and has the lightness of a musk. That being said, you will get good performance from this 7 to 10 hours longevity, fair projection and good silage. It is a fragrance that doesn't scream, but holds on and really lasts A wearable and everyday scent for the Mature,Rugged Adventurous man !

Smells like Boss Bottled Absolu but less leathery and more of that sour, spilled beer on a wooden table vibe. Smells expensive and does its thing well. Masculine, eastern and well done oud style that stays away from the typical rose mix. Verging on barnyard without being skanky.

This smells very nice very Woody it's nowhere near Alexandria 2 top notes pink pepper lemon caramel middle notes leather Oris Ylang bass notes Amber cashmere vetiver sandalwood oud Very nice long lasting quality smelling fragrance

I personally use this perfume it;s amazing smell, long-lasting, you can use for all seasonand occision and I realy like it, and I sugest you to all you can try one time definitely you will much like it.

There are only two notes listed here but on their website Cardin lists as pink pepper, lemon, caramel in the opening, leather, orris, ylang in the heart and oud, amber, sandalwood, cashmere and vetiver in the base. The oud here is nice and smooth, not the robust that can come across as unpleasant, I definitely get the pepper and caramel notes, not the leather unfortunately. It's a fragrance with a good character of its own, unfortunately there is something in it that literally stings my nose. I thought it was the atomizer spraying a too fine mist, but even after the spray has settled I get that odd sharp scent. Projection is moderate, it stays close to skin but longevity is pretty good. I use it as an everyday fragrance for work and some casual outings, for the cost it's a good sweet oud woody fragrance, although I can't say it will remain a staple.

I've gotta agree with everything here. I've had this one since Christmas 2023. It is a great scent. At first, the musks overwhelmed me but after just a little maceration, the caramel is very clear. Even my wife likes it. Similar to Qaa'ed by Lattafa, it is a great scent just maybe not in the highest of heat. I can definitely recommend it.

This perfume smells amazing.I did not expect it to be so good. You can purchase this directly from Louis Cardin website, they offer the cheapest price in USA. https://louiscardin.us/products/louis-cardin-sama-al-emarat-3-4-oz
