Sceptre

This one as well as Patiala were my favorites from the discovery set. While I do agree that a lot of Thameen scents remind me of other perfumes, I still find them to be very pleasant and enjoyable. I also found that Sceptre is one of the best projectors of this brand, while most other perfumes tend to stay closer to skin despite being Extrait de Parfum concentration. To me the wearer of Thameen fragrances is a self-sufficient individual, who does not want to impress, seduce, or seek the attention of others.

A sparkling Oriental with a slight animalic undercurrent. The perfume opens with aromatic notes of pepper, cloves and coriander. The heart is floral gourmand with hints of apricot, ylang, wisteria and patchouli. The perfume settles into a powdery incense base comprised of pronounced ambergris, myrrh and benzoin. The regal perfume leans slight feminine with moderate to strong projection and very good longevity. Another winning offering from this house. Enjoy!

Love what someone else said about this amber not being a screamer - it’s soft, velvety, comforting. The peach and ylang ylang add a wonderful sweetness, not so much that it’s a solely feminine scent, but I do think it leans more feminine than Diadem. When the perfume sticks to my clothes I get whiffs of wisteria. Very multifaceted and well blended. Scepter is regal, authoritative but not abrasive. Day and night scent but better suited for cool weather.

Sceptre is a superb and elegant Oriental. Myrrh shines in this perfume and is beautifully blended with amber. I can't discern the rest of the notes, it apparently has Peach (which I hate) but this is so well blended that I cannot detect it. It's a bit powdery. This is a love for me. I'm trying a sample. Definitely FB worthy if it wasn't so expensive.

Well balanced amber. Not a screamer, it’s there on your skin but not loud. A pleasant scent to wear. I just got it, but I think this is a scent that grows on you over time.
