Belfiore

'Beliforé' meaning 'beautiful flower' in Italian, takes inspiration from a small Omani village called 'Wakan', a place renowned for its blossoming trees and apricots. It opens with a lively citrus that soon softens into a duet of crisp and bright apricot and in honey drenched creamy gardenia flower. Soon, there is a powdery, velvet like warmth in the back from suede and perhaps the carrot note or carrot seeds may also contribute. The apricot is clearly discernible as such, it is fresh fruity and sweet at first, before it gradually becomes more creamy and milky as the hours pass. The honey here is strong and though im not usually too fond of overly realistic honey notes, in here it is so exceptionally well complimenting and fitting along with the apricot. Absolute delish. In the base it is settling into a gentle, fruity apricot skin scent, with a soft almost soapy/shampoo like cleanliness, combined with a skin like warmth from suede. Sillage and longevity are moderate. Having tested all of Oman Luxury's offerings, this one remains my favourite. It may not be the most unique in the collection but so uplifting, bright, fun and easy to wear especially in springtime, that I enjoy this one most. However, if it is singular uniqueness someone seeks, this may not be the one for them, for it is neither extremely complex nor particularly unique in execution. But for those in search for a bright, fun, sweet gourmand leaning, slightly fresh floral and realistic fruity apricot scent, I'd recommend seeking this one out! 9/10

I usually don't go for the sweet stuff but blew thru a 5 ml of this in a couple days. Just ordered a bottle and plan to use it for the remainder of the summer and throughout the fall. Oman Luxury is one of my favorite houses currently, but Belfiore is much lighter and fruiter than their other scents. It's one of their most wearable and versatile with the perfect amount of wax and then suede in the drydown to balance out the sweetness. I love the oud, leather, and spice that is characteristic for Oman and other middle eastern houses, but generally find them harder to wear in the office in the US (although I definitely smell oud and leather on my colleagues far more this year than i have in the past). The performance on this is amazing of course, and I wouldn't expect anything less from Oman. Belifiore is non-polarizing and appropriate for pretty much any situation, but unique enough that you will stand out. Highly recommend. Edit; I got rid of my bottle after a year. It started to smell watered down after a year. Maybe it was me or my bottle.

Inspired by the hidden paradise of Wakan village, Belfiore is a sunlit dream. The opening of apricot and carrot is unexpectedly brilliant — fruity, slightly earthy, and utterly unique. At its heart, osmanthus and gardenia bloom with creamy, honeyed radiance. The dry-down of beeswax, suede, and oakmoss is velvety and grounding, like warm sunlight on ancient stone. A floral fragrance with soul, crafted by the talented Marie Salamagne. 10/10

High quality Osmanthus-gardenia with vanilla undertones. Beeswax and suede aren't prominent, no animalic funkiness. It's definitely floral with fruity hints. Very feminine and delicate. Well blended and no synthetic base. More French style then middle-eastern. Amazing performance. A yes from me, price-quality wise. You really do have to like Osmanthus though.

This smells great, just not for me. Very pleasant musky fruity, not overly synthetic as it could have been. Maybe I should not approach this scent as thinking of it for me. I would love for my girlfriend to own it. This could easily be a signature summer scent.
