Peregrina

Peregrina by Thameen London is very very nice. I personally love it and am very happy to have added it to my collection. Yes, it is very much on the Oriental side of the spectrum but it is sooooo well blended and I smell the sweetness as much as I smell the florals. I smell the amber as much as I smell the musks. This is balanced and done with a touch of opulence (look at that bottle) and classy-ness. Longevity: 8 hours + Projection/Sillage: beast (on my skin) so I have to spray once, no more (for fear of killing others around me). Price: yeah... it’s pricy... ... ... It sort of reminds me of M Micallef Mon Parfum Cristal and Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper but they are not dupes of each other at all. They just share the same notes. Peregrina smells more deep, dark, sweet (caramel/vanilla) than the other two I mentioned. I personally think it is a Winter months scent because it is so deep and strong but that’s my take on this. As I continue to experience this wonderful fragrance, I find that there’s a slight tinge of darkness to it...by no means do I find it bad (I love a bit of darkness to my perfumes) and I definitely wouldn’t wear this in the Summer months. It smells like there might be Oud in it though it isn’t in the perfume’s notes...I don’t know, I guess we all perceive scents quite differently one from another... Personally, I love it. I picture a modern Arabian beauty wearing this and her trail just hypnotizes everyone...

I’ve been looking for a rose perfume that hits the sweet spot of easy wearability for a long time, and it wasn’t until I tried Peregrina that I knew I’d found it. During my search I had the pleasure of trying and owning many beautiful rose perfumes, most of which I sold on because I realized that though beautiful I wouldn’t get much wear from them. Hermann à mes Côtés was a bit too abstract. Rose Tonnerre a bit too earthy. The absolute queen, Rose d’Arabie, too dramatic. Young Rose, a bit too lemony. Or thin. I’m not sure. But anyway, as much as I loved those, owning a full bottle didn’t make sense as I wasn’t going to use it that often. And then along comes Peregrina, the Goldilocks of rose perfumes. For me. Peregrina is a beautiful sweet rose on a caramelly amber base that is utterly predictable, linear, and very easy to wear. It smells the same from the moment it leaves the bottle til 8 hours later when it begins to fade off the skin. Like most rose fragrances, it has a persistent projection and sillage, but in this case there’s nothing at all challenging for most noses that will come into contact with it. If I would say anything negative, it might be that Peregrina is thoroughly sweet. For some people that might make it seem too feminine etc. Not for me. I love it. For me, it’s the most easy reach of Rose perfumes and deserves its full bottle status in my collection.

I don’t think I have words for how much I love this.. I heard that it gave the vibe of Oud Satin Mood and that’s all I really needed to sell me on this. The two aren’t by any means so similar that you can’t own both in fact they are quite different but there is something powdery but deep and sensual about both fragrances that do give them the same vibe however Oud Satin Mood is still a beast mode powerhouse that is both unique and insanely powerful. This doesn’t last as long and it’s more of a jammy sweet rose drizzled in caramel but that powdery mysterious edge really makes this something damn near magical. Most will say this isn’t for summer but i’m so obsessed I would wear this anytime of year. I don’t think it’s work appropriate because it has such a sensual sexy edge to it but if you want attention and people leaning into your bubble intoxicated by your scent trail then by all means wear it. For me though I love wearing it to bed or on date nights. I have so many fragrances that it’s hard to give them all attention and for a while this one has had me in a chokehold choosing it over and over again. This is one you do not have to overspray and i recommend you don’t because you will choke someone out. Less is more but no worries it projects like a dream.

Peregrina is a very popular scent in the community and a beautiful rose scent. Very well balanced and composed but nothing groundbreaking! It is a classic example of a floral bouquet (fresh rose, white and yellow flowers) mixed with sweet amber, myrrh, caramel, vanilla and powder. It’s a very well crafted and beautifully blended and with high quality ingredients. But it is also very expensive. I understand that Thameen is a luxury brand but I feel personally that I can get the same kind of fragrance for less money from other brands, designer or lower priced niche. So I will finish my decant and move on. I would be happy to get a bottle of this as a gift and I would wear it often but it is out of my budget for now! Performance wise, it is not outstanding. It’s a moderate performer like most of the other rose centric scents on the market! Even the new Tom Ford release, Cafe Rose, which is also a beautifully done rose scent, seems cheap compared to this, at about half of the price for the 100 ml bottle.

I just got a sample of this and have been wearing it for the past two days . I am in love with this. It has a woody and rose dry down which I just love. This will be my scent everyday for Fall and Winter. Longevity is amazing. The first night I got this sample I sprayed it on my shirt before I went to bed. The next night I could still smell it on my sheets from the night before. Projection is at arms length for the first five hours and then becomes closer on the skin but not to where it can’t be smelt. I love the fact that they sell the matching lotion in this scent to make the scent be even stronger. I am thankful this perfume projects and is long lasting as it seems like it’s getting harder to find perfumes to last anymore. Also, this scent is totally unisex in my opinion but does lean slightly more feminine to me.

A complex and interesting scent. So much so that I'm not really sure what I'm smelling. It smells sweet, powdery, floral, all at the same time. It's one of the only fragrances that seems to capture all its notes while not allowing them to standout or compete with one another. I do have to say though, because none of the notes stand out, if you're looking for a specific smell out of this fragrance, you might not find it. I bought it for the "rose" note, and I smell no rose. It's a "vibe" fragrance than a "smell" fragrance, if that makes sense. To my nose, this does not smell anything like Oud Satin Mood. OSM has a distinct incense vibe, but Peregrina is much more floral even in the dry down. I'm thankful that this doesn't smell like anything else I own. A standout in its own rights.

This was almost a blind buy, I smelt it once in store on a paper strip and loved it but forgot to test on skin! I found it online for a good price so had to buy it. It turned out to be a successful purchase thankfully and arrived today. On my skin this reminds me of sweet diamond pink pepper. They both have rose, amber, vanlla and musk. But peregrina has the additional note of the caramel which makes it addictive. I wouldn't say this is a gourmand fragrance - it is more of a sweet floral, powdery and musky scent. I really like this and I feel it can be worn day or night and for any season. Feminine leaning. Would highly recommend it! update: this also gives similar vibes to Cafe rose which I also love and is my signature scent

I tested this fragrance, and decided I would buy a bottle back in November. Just getting around to some input. Starts with blast of floral, mostly a juicy rose.. ROSE dominant scent. This scent sings in the middle and dry down, when some sweetness steps forward with notes of amber, vanilla, a hint of creamy caramel. That juicy floral rose stays with warm notes, and hints at a being a bit of an oriental with other white florals the resinous myrrh. I really like!! Seems to be more suited for night and cooler temps - at least on me...prolly the myrrh? Lasts quite a long time, seems to project quite a bit as well with just a couple sprays. There are no woods, no patchouli, and does not smell designer, it's very beautiful.

At first I tested this on a strip and thought it was nice but quickly dismissed it. After a couple of months, I was walking by the same store and tried it on my skin, and OMG I fell in love. This is a refined, sophisticated, feminine perfume that is decadent and rosy yet smooth and somehow airy. The main notes I get are rose and caramel and all the others come to support these main players. This has become my go-to fragrance for all occasions although I have an ever growing collection. If you love gourmand-ish fragrances and rose fragrances, you need to try this one. Side note: this is not similar to Delina, but I feel if you like Delina especially the Exclusif, you might enjoy Peregrina.

Peregrina is a stunner! Full of all my favourite things it's a good candidate for my top ten (out of hundreds). Inspired by the world's most famous pearl - I think the pearl at the centre of this is jasmine. It isn't a "white floral" though - it's ambery and musky and powdery and rosey. There's a touch of caramelly gourmand and of spice although spice is not listed in notes. I can see this being appreciated by fans of many different genres and rather than being a cacophony, all the notes blend as if made for each other. Truly beautiful.

Wow! I am blown away by how delicious and well-rounded this scent is. The rose and caramel stand out most on my skin, but the other notes blend harmoniously to compliment and enrich them. To me, this perfume would best suit a modern, professional, friendly woman in her mid 20's - late 30's. I think this would be a great day/night scent year round (although I could see it being a bit cloying in summertime). Office and event friendly. I'm getting a FB and may even transition it to my signature scent. Absolutely love!!!

Beautiful. So glad I found this. A beautiful oriental floral gourmand with an incense dry down from the myrrh. The white florals are initially prominent and the rose takes a back seat. As it develops on my skin, the ylang ylang gives this a floral sweetness and stops the food notes overpowering the fragrance. After thirty minutes I’m really experiencing the warmth of the amber and the myrrh and sweetness. This has been blended beautifully. It’s my first experience with Thameen and I am eager to try some more ❤️

Delicious, creamy floral caramel. A rose-heavy bouquet of airy flowers dripping in caramel, grounded by a soft powdery amber base. Rather sweet but not too light, not too dense, solid balance of other floral notes. All the sweetness goes away in the deep drydown, however, leaving behind only a musky rose skin scent. Strong projection for 3-4hr, longevity 10-12hr. Much more than just rose, yet it clearly stands out from the crowd. Kinda makes me think of a more complex Loumari Almeria.

If I didn't have so many rose fragrances this would top my wishlist! It is a stunning sweet rose - I was afraid of the caramel note, but here it is blended so smoothly, it doesn't smell sharp or too sugary. It is so beautiful - reminds me of a turkish delight, but it isn't powdery. I don't get sharp amber from the notes either. The whole fragrance is blended to perfection. LOVE! I get the comparisson to Roses Vanille but this one doesn't have the artificial Mancera chemistry

Sensual and mature. Not old person mature, but someone who has it together. It’s sweet, powdery, resinous, and jammy. I do agree with @lydiamae, there is a petrol/gasoline or even petroleum jelly undertone somewhere in the background that carries through the entirety of the fragrance. But yet there’s just something very alluring and suggestive about it. I’m unsure about it but I would like to take this fragrance for a spin during a special occasion and see if it turns heads.

Such a shape shifting scent. Sometimes I get more ambered almost saffron-like touches, at others it’s a gorgeous floral with a sweet powdered finish. It always differs. I appreciate it in all its guises but feel it best suits cooler climates. After sampling extensively I’ve just bought a full bottle and look forward to wearing her into spring and then bringing her back after the summer Radiates beautifully and leaves a stunning trail. Long lasting as well.

Love at first sniff and on my 3rd bottle. I don’t see the resemblance to MFK Satin Mood. I get strong notes of rose, amber, caramel, musk - which I adore. Smells like a rich beautiful Arabic lady to me. It’s a feminine, rich, gourmand, soft powder beautiful scent. Im addicted! Best worn in the colder months and it’s one of my perfumes I’ve had the best longevity and silliage with. Thameen London isn’t spoken about enough, it deserves its flowers.

Peregrina is truly stunning. The flowers lift the scent so it’s not too sweet but it also manages to be soft and warm in an adult way. My boyfriend wants to drag me straight into the bedroom whenever I wear this, so that’s something to think about if you’re looking to seduce someone;) (or not) It doesn’t last very long on my skin (3 hours, tops), but I don’t even care, it’s so beautiful.

What a joyful fragrance! Caramel, Rose and Myrrh, beautifully blended. For some reason the Rose note reminds me of Tom Ford‘s Noir de Noir, which I adore as well. This is a beautiful, safe scent for a special evening, pretty much what you would expect from the pyramid. It does not change a lot during the weartime, once it settles it is pretty consistent.

This is the first perfume I've smelled in the first minute and decided I need to buy a full bottle immediately!! Soft, smooth and elegant. Cannot stop smelling myself. Wasn't sure initially if I'd like the powder note in there because I don't like powdery scents... But it's so well blended I can even appreciate the light powderiness in this one.
