Arabs of Diriyah

🤦 guys, please put leather on the accords and notes... Anyone who has a nose, and has smelled this fragrance knows that there is a heavy amount of leather... Beautiful scent btw... amazingly done: Scent: 9.2 Quality: 9.5 Projection: 9.5 Sillage: 9.7 Longevity: 9.2 Good Quality Clones That I've Come Across: No. There may seem like some Ombré Leather going on (more closer to Rare Carbon on the die down... but the saffron and tonka beans... it's different) Worth Buying: 100%. Yes. Humble advice: Dear Fellow Fragrance Lovers, Please, don't act like these YouTubers/actors who smell the cap and the atomizer to smell the fragrance... you gotta put it on your skin... or else... ... you won't get the true scent. (it rubs the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again 😉 IYKYK) Some people need to "gets the hose 💦" for smelling the cap and atomizer to get an idea of the scent , lol 😂 Don't get me wrong... it's ok to smell the cap and atomizer, to enjoy, etc, but to truly experience and rate and fragrance, you gotta put it on your skin. The difference between the juice inside of cap, metal/plastic even rubber sometimes... and off of your skin, can be like the difference btwn the heavens and the earth. ✌

This is my perfume of 2025. A beautiful furry, animalic leathery oud with hints of sweet vanilla. Runs very, very close to OPUS XIII Silver Oud Amouage. Outstanding performance - I sprayed on around 9pm last night and it's still projecting at 12 midday today. In fact this one seems to project more the longer it's on skin. If you have a problem with performance then maybe check the seller is genuine. I get a smoky, castoreum loaded oud and I find it very comforting. I will rock this in all seasons and all weather because its so beautiful and I wear perfumes for myself not other people. I can't wait to see how it performs in hot weather for sure.

A blast of Oud on initial spray. Nothing about this fragrance smells synthetic and it smells alot like a particular Oud fragrance from Dior which I cannot remember. The tonka bean adds a smooth and creamy sweetness which isn’t overpowering. I also sense a significant amount of leather which I’m surprised is not listed in the notes. This is one of my 10/10 fragrances based on scent profile and performance

This is spicy woody and leather fragrance that smells very heavy, warm and sensual. It smells like fire and the fragrance clearly represent the name - it has the aroma of that Saudi heat. This will definitely leave a lasting impression on those around you.

Very warm and spicy oud. Saffron is prominent but the tinka smoothes it out. Great performance. If you like Gucci Guilty Absolute this will appeal to you. Perhaps not for western tastes

Well, I have to say I'm surprised this is rated so highly by others. Currently at a 4.42/5.0, with rave reviews. I just got into fragrances, after stumbling upon a Reef kiosk and buying Reef 29 (LOVE it). During the Reef spring sale, I bought Diriyah blind, along with their 33 White. Honestly, I immediately listed the Diriyah on eBay for sale. Since then, I've been trying to wear through it when I'm just going to the grocery store or wherever, and it has grown on me a bit, but it's not what I was looking for. I had hoped for something with a little deeper profile. This one is definitely heavily masculine leaning, but behind all that aggressive spice is a lighter fragrance whereas I was hoping for some earthiness. It's a risk of buying blind, for sure. The thing that is off putting about it is how heavily spiced the profile is, right up front. It's robust, to say the least. Past the heavy spiced nose on it, the other ingredients are pretty subtle and do not have the longevity that the spicy head on it provides. I will say that its longevity is much better than anything else I own, and that includes the 13-sample set from Les Indemodables. Even after going through the washing machine, my t-shirt smells of this spice blend. I think I actually like it better having been toned down by the wash cycle. *Update, still smells faint on my shirt after two washes* It's not unpleasant and if I smelled it on someone passing by I'd probably not think anything negative about it, but I'll say I can definitely see why it's from their Arab collection. That spice is STRONG.

A more digestible version of Meydan, if you liked meydan but couldnt bear its intensity, try this one. But still, only for leather lovers

I use it as a fart spray, it is that bad

Bought it in 2023, so release date is wrong here. Fell in love with it in Dubai, it was something unique, a royal saffron of sort, elegant , strong and long lasting. Recently discovered it’s pretty much same a Nabeel Al Bashiq. Not sure who made it first. Edit: I just bought black incense Malaki by Chopard and the resemblance is impressive. Seems the very same pyramid but with very slightly different ratio in the ingredients .( bit more smooth)

Arabs of Diriyah from Reef is a beautiful luxury, for some maybe a strong leather fragrance, I hardly smell the oud in this fragrance. It’s also Tonka heavy and with an airy saffron now and then hits your senses. Not for the faint hearted, wearing this in public could end up on street fights, as it might be offensive for a regular nose, oh this beautiful luxury scent.

Oh my goodness — I have no idea how to describe this scent! 😅 But if you’re into woody fragrances with great longevity and projection, you’ve got to try this one! I got the 200ml bottle... and honestly, I have no idea how I’m ever going to finish it! 😄 Scent: 8/10 Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 10/10 Price: 10/10 Overall: 8.5/10

It’s a spiced tonka bomb—super potent. I don’t get any oud, but I love spraying it in my room; it makes the space feel so cozy. I also spray it on my abaya.

It’s the best and strongest oud fragrance i ever had! It stays on my shirt for 4-7 days This will for sure get you noticed
