“I like this perfume. It's very sweet, vanilla- flower perfume, different and long lasting.However, perfume is also heavy so be careful. You only need a little to smell it all day long.”
“Very potent oil....it's strong. A little goes a long way. Although it is strong it's very sensual, feminine smell. Smells like patchouli, sandalwood, and hint of jasmine. Not overly feminine or floral.”
“I was looking for something with a nice orange blossom note, and this had popped up in reviews. Since I prefer oils anyway and like mukhallats, this seemed ideal -- and the price is great. I was a little startled when I unscrewed the cap: the first thing that hit me -- and it hit hard -- was oud. If you're not familiar, it's that woody, almost acrid, and very strong note -- it's a common basenote in a lot of mukhallats. It's not listed, but it's there and it makes its presence known. Oud is nice, but it's so very pervasive, and I really didn't want something that was going to be All About Oud, or so oud-y that it was just going to clobber the other notes into submission. But underneath was a fruity-candy-floral, which I hoped was robust enough to emerge from that initial oud onslaught. It did, fortunately, and quite quickly. It stays a bright, fruity honeyed scent, with a light floral overlayer, and the oud and musk keep it from being too sweet. It's a remarkably well-balanced and complex mukhallat: nothing is overwhelming. It wears very well, but closer to the skin than I expected -- not a lot of sillage (although I was wary of putting on too much, so may have underapplied. With oils, especially ones with oud, a little may go a long way.) It's not so orange-blossom as some reviews suggested (I'll find that one perfect orange blossom scent eventually), but it's a gorgeous scent.”
“I wish I could buy it by the gallon. Smooth, soft, and sophisitcated, long-lasting, and the price is right!! I guess there are REASONS why so many perfumes from Arab states have won Fifi Awards! This one, in oarticular gets me lots of compliments. Leans feminine, and tends to be head-turning! There is also a subtle , and sexy, civet note”
“This is ok but its not the rich floral type, its more of a mix floral and I could not quite make out anything out of this and the dry down is just ok. So for the price its ok.”
“At first I was a bit skeptical buying online since I am not able to smell it. But I have a friend from the Gulf who has bought me perfume oils and I loved them all so I decided with my past experience and the price if I don't like it I would not have lost much.At first it smells a bit almondy but then it transforms into a pleasant, feminine smell. Many people have asked me what I am wearing and commented how great I smell. I have since ordered other Swiss Arabian products-I am hooked!”
“I read about this on a fragrance blog when I was researching fragrances using orange blossoms, and had to try it. The first hit to your nose is a little sharp but once it starts to warm on your skin it is fantastic. Strangers in public are always asking what perfume I have on when I wear this. Sometimes I have to tell them what brand and how I ordered and they put it in their phone.”
“When I first opened the bottle, I caught the strongest scent of almonds. On first application on the skin it was a moderately sweet/sugary/nutty smell but after rubbing it into the skin a little more the scent became stronger and to me seemed very floral and extremely sweet. After a while it became kind of cloying almost metallic smelling on me and I think started to give me a headache.Oh well. At least the bottle wasn't expensive.”
