Ameer Al Arab by Asdaaf

The only thing that works is the atomizer; I wouldn’t recommend it. The scent is below average and the longevity is very poor. The best example of cheap being expensive.

The best thing about it is the atomizer; personally, I do NOT recommend it. The scent is below average. The duration is VERY poor. The best definition of cheap being expensive.

Bought it blind for 37,500 pesos (about $25), which is cheap for an Arabic perfume in Argentina. It arrived today and I was surprised by how rich it smells. The projection is average for Arabic fragrances, especially since it’s one of the fresher ones. Cardamomo is always upfront, accompanied by white flowers and mint at the start, while drying down it reveals lavender and basil, with the pepper playing a minor role. The dry-down is soft but invites you to keep sniffing—it’s a delight. The bottle is nice, certainly. If you’re under thirty, skip it. I don’t know if it lasts well since I haven’t tested it thoroughly, but as a scent, it’s a true hidden gem. I hope they don’t review it too much, no TikToks or Reels, and no pseudo-famous influencers using it, so the price stays low and I feel original among all the Aventus, YSL, Le Male, and similar knockoffs that are everywhere. Keep it in the shadows of anonymity; that’s what helps us all keep buying it cheap. Maybe I’ll edit later to see if it lasts… for now, I filled a new decant to let the bottle breathe for a few weeks. Every time I use it, my wife insists I go to the sink and take a sniff from the bottle.

The scent is incredibly attractive, on another level. I can’t believe a $20 perfume has this quality; it’s impressive. That blend of ingredients makes it cozy and appealing, making people want to be near you. It gives me a boost in confidence, and when I arrive somewhere, people look at me differently and give me compliments. It’s great for romantic night dates. With this, you can’t go wrong; you’re crowned, I guarantee it.

Great fragrance. Well-balanced and soft, with a subtle mint and basil note. Definitely has a quality far above its price point.

Excellent fragrance. It feels like a hybrid between YSL La Nuit de L’Homme and Bvlgari Man Wood Essence (in my country, Argentina, we have the Bagués Roma and Giesso Puro Naturaleza).

It doesn’t resemble LNDLH as much because it’s fresher and more herbal. I don’t really like the original because I find it heavier. So, I prefer this inspiration because it’s not a clone. You can immediately sense the cardamomo, and shortly after, the mint. It’s an elegant fragrance. I tested it for daily wear at 17 degrees Celsius, and it holds up. However, I see it more for dates or important meetings. The best part: in Chile, it still costs a maximum of $11-14. It lasts 8-9 hours, with moderate projection for the first hour and a half, then fading to skin scent for the last 2-3 hours.

It’s a fresher, greener dupe than La Nuit de L’Homme. From the start, it’s sharper, green, and aromatic; throughout the fragrance, you feel that characteristic cardamomo without it becoming creamy. If you’re looking for something like La Nuit de L’Homme (without feeling ripped off), this is a great fragrance to have that signature DNA, just fresher and greener than the original. Its longevity makes it all worth it, thanks to a well-crafted aromatic development. (7 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first hour and a half, followed by another 3 hours).
