Hayaam

I purchased the Love collection discovery set (6 samples) and I ranked Hayaam as No. 5 (descending order to favourites). Let me tell you why. The opening to Hayaam is strong, rather sharp and quite animalic- an unrefined, sour lemon, darling cloves and a strong leather note. But as Hayaam dried down, the leather note became more pronounced, woody notes and amber (slightly) began to make their appearance. There is something 'clean' yet animalic about Hayaam. I would love to smell this on a man, however it came in 5th place because it does not do well with me. It comes off as a dirty kind of wood-leather combination. If Hayaam had floral notes- lily of the valley or carnation maybe, it would be more wearable for me. I enjoy sniffing this fragrance on paper, but not on my skin. Hayaam is unisex, but I feel it leans more masculine. I think this perfume will do well in any season (spray lightly in summer). It oozes quality and my mind pictures a self-assured (not arrogant) man wearing gemstone cufflinks, putting this on as a daytime fragrance. I feel bad for ranking it 5th when I adore it so. The latter end of the dry down is truly nose catching.

Lemon/citrus with woody notes..light clovey note and suede/leather...ambery Very "different" IMO. During the wearing...the leathery part shows up more..and the lemon/clove goes underneath....with just enough touchs of woodsy blending in. I am enjoying this. The bottle is....stunning !!! Tested from sample. Possible FB worthy !!!

This is just amazing. Soft leather and a creamy amber with some spices and lemon. There's a green nuance too. The animalic facet of the scent gives the perfect touch of dirtiness creating a modern masculine imprint. Addictive af. It's so good!

Smells like a generic middle eastern fragrance but done with high quality ingredients, so it's not offensive but rather gives a posh feel.

My husband and I are obsessed with this scent! Something in this one really sparkles on skin rather than a paper test strip - maybe the animalic notes. On my husband especially, it becomes sweeter, and the Amber and Tonka notes shine more. It really is a masterpiece. This one and Ishq are our favorites from the Waaw collection. They are just so beautifully blended and feel elevated. The price for the quality is unbelievable.
