Ishraq

What a beauty of a perfume. I blind bought it hoping for a cheaper version of Al Haramain "Junoon Noir" and here it is. Identical but at a quarter of the price. I've worn JN all last winter and I thought to give this one a try. Happy I did. Couldn't be happier. What a gem. Heaven in a bottle Update: 2 hours later i can barely feel it :-( so, the resemblance is outstanding but the longevity is so disappointing unlike JN that lasts and projects all day Update 2: I could not help but using it every single day since I bought it. It literally smells like vanilla powder sugar in the most delicious way possible. Extremelly delicious Update 3: i ordered a new bottle of JN to satisfy my need for longevity and projection. I will use this one also to refresh the smell during the day. The smell itself is 10/10 so i can't accept not to have the strong one also. Will use them both.

This is a beautiful gourmand vanilla with a lemon hint. Milkrice with lemon!!! I can also feel jasmin and violet that I love. The fragrance has an oriental touch. I love to wear it, because it feels smooth and has a good longevity. It feets well in spring and summer, but it's also an all year round fragrance. Somebody says it's similar to Kenzo Flower, I don't think so, but who loves Kenzo Flower will probably love this too - like me :) Pay attention: perfume is very oily!

Almost 1:1 with Junoon Noir. That one is more powdery, this one is creamier. I slightly prefer this one but it doesn't really last. I own them both and love them both. Even if my collection exapanded generously since 3 years ago when I discovered JN, I still adore this smell. So sweet and creamy but, at the same time, luminous and refreshing. Very interesting and unique mixture of sweetness, creaminess and fresness. Just lovely!

A charming, powdery-sweet fragrance. The fruits in the opening add a subtle hint of freshness. The overall scent is enveloping and very comfortable to wear. The projection and longevity are moderate. However, the bottle and packaging do not match the quality of the composition.

I love this one. It opens with the lemony kumquat and then it becomes a creamy orris, slightly powdery vanilla with violets, holding onto the lemon scent from the opening. I also detect some of the white florals, the jasmine and the lily of the valley. Very pretty. This one lasts a long time but the sillage on me is moderate. I agree with Luna Blu below and think this could be worn all year round. To my nose, it is feminine. I also have Orientica's Ishraq Gold, which is a delicious gourmand. Each was under $20 online. I'm very happy with this blind buy.
