Al Amaken

A very pretty, long-lasting and sweet fruitchuli. Sweet but not cloying and it’s a good alternative if FlowerBomb is out of your budget. To me Smells a bit like Jessica Simpson Fancy after some years of shelf life, when the Vanilla gets really concentrated. Al Makaen lasts a good 6/7 hours on my skin with moderate projection and decent longevity. Although not very unique I think this fragrance worth your money. @deepgreenbeauty

There is a spicy note. A fresh spritz on blotter smells warm and spicy. As soon as I smelled it, I made a connection with Clinique's Beyond Rose. I am wondering if Al Amaken contains pepper notes like Beyond Rose?

I loved this perfume because of its longevity. All my scarves smelled like it, some even after washing. Sadly, I can't buy them in my country that easily.

BOUGHT IN DUBAI WHILST VISITING A FRIEND ..... LOVE IT!!!

Well, to begin with, I've never learned to like neither La vie est belle nor Tresor la Nuit. They are simply too much of everything for me. ;-D But this one, I do like. I'm very much a floral lover and can go floral paired with a soft gourmand touch (e.g. berries) or musk, but not with patchouli. My skin emphasizes patchouli to a point where it is the only note left. So if you are like me, don't be afraid to try this scent. I would suggest spraying _from a distance_, max. both writs (or elsewhere, but max. two sprays). You get the most wonderful flowery-sweet smell perfect for late autumn/early winter. My guess is, when the temperature goes below 0 (degrees Celsius) this will only get better. I smell passion fruit, vanilla, and a hint of cassis and citrus at the beginning. There is a combinaison of floral notes out of which I would say rose could be the winner. This is a very sweet scent, but doesn't get cloying if sprayed with care. What I'm so very happy about is, that I won't end up with nothing but patchouli after a half an hour, but am actually able to smell the sweetness and flowers all the way until the scent fades. Longevity is great as well as sillage and therefore spray with care (!). The bottle will last you a long time. Affordable quality.
