“We came upon this CPO as a sample with a box of incense. Loved it, ordered it two days later when we were happily surprised at the low price. It smells great. And it IS naturally sourced. Most of the ingredients on the label some folks think are not natural are the names of the individual components of clove oil, so that's no real concern. The eventual lasting scent that comes after the oil penetrates the skin depends on your individual chemistry. On me it's an earthy-herbal toned musk with a slight clove bite and no hint of the initial flowery scent while on my daughter and wife it retains more floral notes with a bright fruity flourish that hangs in the air after they pass through the room.Looking forward to trying the dark next week.”
“I buy fragrance from this person all the time because I don’t like other perfumes. The packing is beautiful and bottle of the perfume too. If you love middle eastern perfumes, you’ll love this product.”
“Of course, a fragrance relies on the chemistry of the person wearing it so keep that in mind. This was a deep and rich scent but not as sweet as I expected. It started out with a soft and honey-like scent with an undertone of a soapy smell that is very hard to describe. After about 10 or 15 minutes, I noticed that the soapy smell was gone and the scent had gotten sweeter with touches of vanilla and some kind of a light floral smell. After about a couple of hours, the scent was soft and feminine and reminded me of a mix of honey-lemon-cake (very mild on the cake). If this had a powdery note, it would be amazing.This is not like any other perfume or perfume oil I have ever used. I read some reviews disputing that it is a true "attar" because it's too thin. Personally, I didn't think it was all that thin. When I use the glass want to apply it, nothing drips off the end of it.I like this but still plan to wear it layered with another vanilla scent that I have. This fragrance lingers a long time (even on my mature and dry skin) and sort of morphs between the different fragrance notes.Bonus points:The bottle is pretty and resembles a tiny art piece with a candied jewel on top. The glass wand is a nice touch & I would really have been disappointed if it had been plastic.Regardless of the scent, this looks pretty on my vanity (aka: bathroom counter) and I feel a bit elegant just using it.”
