Jannet El Baqui

Very potent stuff. Very soapy and aldehylic. Half an hour in this reminds me of chanel no.5 but a powdery-er version. Very clean soapy smell with greens and woods and I think the tonka bean here lends the creamy richness I'm not sure. The patchouli is expertly blended in this so it's muted in the background and the saffron note is quite prominent to my nose which gives it that middle eastern gorgeous exotic smell. (Quite similar to the saffron in agent provocateur original ) .... this was given to my husband by one of his male colleagues who swore that it was the best scent out there in the Arabian scent world.... smelling it straight out of the bottle, I beg to differ, but letting it heat up on your skin and letting it linger is pure magic. Sillage and longevity is monstrous so u only need a light hand. I love this a couple of hours in.

longevity - 10-12hrs, sillage- first 2 hrs heavy, next 8hrs moderate, then fades away. notes- intense oudh and patchouly and spice at the opening and oudh and patachouli throughout the cycle. spice fades off. whiff of rose and musk in between, with the latter lingering for quite some time. price- very good bargain for the stuff design- found it cumbersome to hold tried in hot and humid weather, lasted for 12 hrs approx. Burberry london lasted 2-3 hrs in the same weather. now using JANNET EL BAQUI NABEEL or AZZARO POUR HOMME to cover up for Burberry london.

I just came from a Nabeel boutique. I believe this has been discontinued for a while now. I was really hoping to try it today.
