Dania

I eagerly awaited the arrival of Orientica Premium "Dania" because I'm searching for a more intense variation of Lattafa "Gharam," or a deeper, more intense version of Khadlaj "Nafais Sharq." Orientica "Dania" is 99.99% identical to Nafais Sharq, Gharam and Baciami. Dania is an exceptionally, creamy, smooth, gorgeous floral fragrance with gardenia more notable than any floral in Nafais Sharq. And the floral notes in Dania are much stronger and more prominent than the floral notes in Gharam. A mixed fruity opening is evident, as well in Dania. The pear note is very strong in the opening. And the dry down is as one might expect given the listed notes. No need to purchase if you have Nafais Sharq. Out of the three fragrances (Gharam, Nafais Sharq and Dania), I like Dania best because the floral notes seem creamiest, most intense and the perfume's overall performance is stellar. IMHO Dania's duration, overall performance and floral intensity are superior to most.

Full disclosure, I have NEVER smelled the scent this is trying to dupe, didn't even know it was trying, but I think this will only enhance the fact that this perfume, standalone, no comparisons, is one of my MOST reached for bottles ever since I got it. It feels very complex, but it is a really multifaceted perfume. For me it can fit any situation, so my heart aches to have to pick when to wear it over others. Such a delight. Now as for the notes: I feel the vanilla incredibly strongly, the peach note is present, but at the same time the woody tones bring everything out SO well. The amber in this makes the woody aspect so alive, such a nice feeling I don't often get with other perfumes with similar notes. The white florals also make it very lighthearted despite the otherwise intimate feel I get from it. So good.

Not a dupe for either HSW or Baciami but in the same category. I actually prefer this one. It is a gorgeous sweet peach + vanilla + white floral/tuberose. Smells phenomenal. It is closer to Sharq but has more fruit/peach and smells better. This is one of the best finds I've had in the last year. I also own Venus De Milo and that one is beautiful as well and in the same category. I need all of them, none are exactly alike.

This floored me!! 10/10 So different, i have nothing that smells like it. Creamy but woody in a very sophisticated and seductive way. Flowery, warm and woody. I absolutely dont understand the low rating. I bought a backup!

I've been testing this out for weeks & I finally purchased my bottle. The longevity on it stayed for an 8 hour shift! The scent is very mesmerizing, although you should like warmer scents and vanillas if you were to test this one out. It has such a creamy, candy-like appeal that would suit any age. The gardenia and coconut in this smoothens this out it and tones down the fruitier notes, the peach and the orange, so it then becomes very sultry. Safe to say I have fallen in love with it and I can see it becoming a signature scent. I still have to play around with its projection, but so far this is a pleasant scent to my nose.

Same Gardenia and Vanilla used on Baciami by Bvlgari. Love it! Strong at first but then It gets seductive and sophisticated!

This is definitely a closer Baciami dupe than Hundred Silent Ways. I don’t smell the resemblance to HSW at all actually.

This is so odd. It comes on strong but then I can hardly smell it.

That looks really interesting!
