“A strong, long-lasting scent that will get you a lot of compliments from both sexes. With hints of mandarin, cedar, and vanilla absolute, the smell will make you stand out immediately. Its a bit pricey for a cologne, especially as the bottle size rises. This fragrance is amazing and lasts so long. The edu perfume will last for 10 hours easily. Its concentration between 20-30% which is really good for who looking for whole day super rich beautiful perfume. Great smell, a little fresh but bold as well. Smells like a cold winter night in the woods to me.”
“This is an interesting blend of fragrance I know that people are offended by stuff that is too strong so this may fall into that category but it is definitely a warm nutty tone and somewhat elegant I've gotten some compliments and I've gotten some criticism”
“And with the global world of perfumery embracing Oud as the preferred theme for the last few years, we can rejoice that Swiss Arabian, well known in Dubai for years, has finally expanded beyond specialty shops and is available online.I've loved the exotic middle Eastern perfume offerings from across the world since the '70s. Cooling citrus cologne waters for hot days, and precious oils and resins, including oud, for sultry evenings.This review is for Swiss Arabia's Walaa.Mysterious, warm, inviting, and sensual.Appropriate for all seasons save the hottest of summer days.Heady undefinable spice with an added citrus at dry down. But make no mistake, that citrus is muted with deep orientals.Most fragrances with this profile give me a headache, not this one.”
“It is nearly impossible to buy perfume online if you have never smelled it before. I studied all of the different offerings and chose WALAA because the description said it had citrus notes and other notes that I like. I am not a huge fan of floral scents, preferring fruity or fresh.The box and bottle are nice. The bottle top has a separate ornate piece that slips over the actual top purely for decoration. The scent is not at all what I expected. It is very strong and I smell no citrus or, really anything else but a strong tobacco type of scent. Maybe amber? It is woodsy. The scent lasts for hours and hours, something I wish my favorite perfumes would do. But it gives me a headache because it takes ages for it to settle down and just be a light wisp of scent. It stays really strong. And because I don't like the scent, that is an issue.I certainly would not pay the high price for this perfume when I could buy tried and true designer fragrances for about the same price. If it had smelled like the description said it smells like, I would have loved it though. Unfortunately, at least to my nose, this is a an almost bitter fragrance. It probably smells completely different on someone else due to different chemistries but, for me, it wasn't as expected. If you like the scent, you will get many hours of fragrance from just a couple of sprays so it should last for a long time.”
“But I had to open it and spray some on my hand...and that was it. I love the deep, spicy-sweet scent of this perfume. It was a few hours before bed when I sprayed this and when I went to bed, I had my arm up near my nose - oh, it smelled so good and helped me relax and fall asleep! Okay, so maybe that's not what you think of when looking for a great new perfume to wear, but it's not that it made me sleepy - it's just that it smelled so good I relaxed quickly and that allowed me to fall asleep. This would have been a great gift for one of my daughters in law, but no...I can't give it away! If you like that deep, spicy-sweet scent of certain perfumes, try this one. So worth it!”
“Nowhere in the marketing does it tell you whether this perfume is for a woman, a man, or unisex. Obviously, from the design of the bottle, it makes you believe that it is for a woman.The smell of perfume is quite feminine. I suppose a man could wear it. They have several flavors. I tried the Walaa.I love the smell, but smell is quite subjective.The price is a bit high for an unknown brand, but it's definitely worth a shot. And the packaging is exquisite as the video shows. I hope that's helpful.”
