Ziryab

You open the Ziryab perfume on fragrantica, look at the pyramid of notes and exclaim somewhat bored: offff, another middle east perfume! Ha, ha, ha, the ultimate trick!!!! Dear fraghead, it is a masterpiece that you rarely find these days marked by generic copy-pastes. I think you can count the perfumes with tulips on the fingers of one hand. But who thought that on a wooden pedestal made of the most expensive cedar and oud, dripping with the most precious saffron, you can place a fragrant tulip, full of dew and with a slight salty, marine tinge? And this whole ensemble to smell absolutely unique and fabulous? Probably Majda herself or some genius perfumer with whom she worked. I give it 10 out of 10 and lots of love, love, love!!!! PS. Bottle its a jewel!!!

I blind bought this after reading 'mmmmgood's review (below). You my friend, paint a very accurate olfactory picture. Yes this is signature scent worthy. Ziryab doesn't scream, but is loud & long enough for all those around you to appreciate too. Tulip 'n oud...who woulda thought... Magic.

I can't even put into words... this is my favorite i have literally ever smelled... and i can't find it anywhere again. So i am spraying for special occasions only... i am so scared to run out of this... I just look at the bottle and treasure it.

I don't know why, but after a couple of mins it smelled just like an apple cake, very appetizing, although not too sweet at all. All enfolded in a watery vibe.

Water lily and saffronic mineral water. I am confused between lily and tulips! Tulips is known for it's specific certain smell which i can't sense it clearly here. It's a combination of water lilies and tulips with watery saffron. I can't really detect oud in here as much as the floral. Fresh floral cuts mostly. Nice.
