Rifaaqat Adorn

I don't get why people are saying that this has strong pepper. As a pepper note love I'm sure I can't detect it here, so it must be batch variation. That being said, this is very nice, smooth, elegant and classy smell. It kinda has that oldschool elevated smell, with moderate longevity and weaker projection. Don't get me wrong, this type of fragrance is okay having a more intimate projection since the setting in which you'd typicaly wear it would be a date night at a fancy restaurant, or something like that.

This fragrance has very good Top notes and great opening it kinda smells a little leathery with spicy pepper. I love the middle notes it give the perfume some greenery while maintaining it’s masculine smell. The fragrance isnt sweet at the start but will be sweeter in the end It’s not a fragrance for everyone and don’t blind buy it. But overall it’s a great value fragrance with good spicy Top notes woody greens middle notes and sweeter spicy Base notes

Initially I wasn’t sure on this one I got it for I think 25$ and I let it sit a month or so. The first time I actually wore it I quickly realized how much I liked this scent it’s very mature and sophisticated it comes off as this deep ambergris, patchouli, almost spiced tobacco vibe and once it dries there’s a hint of vanilla that wafts in and out and it’s very alluring sillage and projection are okay/good a good winter wear.

I’m not a huge fan of the opening, but the drydown is incredible!!!! For some reason, the combination of pepper and orange reminds me of Sacro E Profano by Bois 1920. I like this a lot! Just want to add, that when I first sprayed it, I was overwhelmed. The very first spray on my skin smelled like spices, tea leaves, and tobacco, a bit sour and dry. Might be offputting to some. Scent: 8/10 Projection: 7/10 Longevity: 7.5/10

I had the MA Alhambra clone which I ended up selling after a couple of months because I found it to be mediocre, was not reaching for it. I bought a couple months ago rifaqaat adorn for peanuts (12 euros) from an online discount store, just because of the low price, but didnt try it until last week. This is way better smelling fragrance to my nose, more woody, more fresh, less lipsticky, more masculine. Absolute banger.
