“UPDATE 5/3Updating to 5 stars. The scent is Sweet with thin masculine rough edge to it. I love it.UPDATE 4/21*Delivered on the 8th and after the first few sprays, it's been in a drawer macerating since. Took it out to test today by spraying on paper and all the harsh chemical smell is gone. sprayed it on my skin and no chemical smell there either. updating to 4 stars as it's now what I bought. As far as the fragrance, it's good but not my favorite. I'd buy it again but wouldn't by the larger bottle. It is powerful for sure. one spay on the back of my hand and it's over powering what I put on this morning.So far it feels like a waste of my money. This is my first purchase of an Al Haramain product and because of the reviews I decided to spend the extra money on a bigger bottle. When I first sprayed it, IT'S HORRID!!! It's about 97% nose burning, alcohol/Harsh Cleaning chemical smell. I've just started a collection of colognes and of the 10-15 bottles I have, this is the worst and frankly unwearable. You can barley pickup the actual scent of the cologne way way in the background. I currently have the bottle macerating in a drawer and I'm really hoping the harsh leaves, because the description and reviews seem like it's a great scent. I can say it does seem to have staying power because when I sprayed it in the sink before putting it away, my sink stinks for the next day every time I get it wet. Fingers crossed that a little time in the dark turns it into something wearable.”
