1001

1001 initially smells a lot to me like Argos Fall of Phaeton. Minus the very first moments when it is a bit animalic, 1001 opens with a strong cinnamon-led scent (FOP doesn't have cinnamon, but I still catch the essence of it for some reason), with the ginger taking a close second. By the mid, that sweetness dissipates and leaves behind a smooth patchouli-woody fragrance (if oversprayed, it smells a little more floral) before becoming a smoky wood, like the inside of an old cedar chest that hasn't been opened in a while. This phase smells so good -- it's almost incense-like but much more sophisticated, attractive and addictive. In the dry drown, 1001 becomes more like a typical Middle Eastern amber fragrance, but with far less amber and more woodiness and a touch of sweetness, thank God. Nothing wrong with those kinds of fragrances, but it's such a crowded space and they all tend to smell alike after a while. 1001 makes itself unique from that crowd. I can't really speak to 1001's performance yet because I haven't worn it out, but if it performs even half decently, I will for sure be buying a full bottle. Unlike what other reviewers have said, 1001 is NOT expensive. At under $90 on some discount sites, it's a total steal.

Idk what everyone is gibberishing and gabberishing here about this fragrance smelling like that and pretty much for someone who didn't put his nose on this will never understand how it smells like. LET ME explain. It is actually a powerhouse fragrance, not a monster like Oriental Rose but still a really strong frag. It is very complex yet simple to describe its smell : PREMIUM CANDIES. It literally smells like luxurious fruity candies.

Cinnamon without being heavy or cloying. It feels like it's Christmas all year. Cozy and intriguing. Not beast mode but a good 6 hours longevity will give you. Try it on a 5 ml decant.

Pretty complex vanilla amber scent. Love it and how it played around with notes. Despite its complexity, it should be a surprisingly easy to wear sweet scent.

smells like rich arab woman. love this scent..so unique.
