Delicious and sweet without being cloying. I detect tonka bean, benzoin, dates, and a mysterious fresh touch. Absolutely rich, unisex, perfect for cold nights and dates. Cozy yet innovative. Plus, the bottles are works of art.

Dates Delight is an exquisite gourmand: dates, caramel, honey, and sugar create an edible and seductive fragrance. THOO’s presentation is friendly and original; it smells like a compliment magnet. Totally recommended for lovers of sweet and enveloping scents.
Emawitch
Captivating and luxurious, it evokes exotic dates. However, the longevity is disappointing: it lasts less than an hour, which is frustrating given the price. The scent is pleasant and tempting regardless.
Daima
It’s my first perfume from this house, and I was afraid I wouldn’t like it, but wow, I love it. I don’t smell the dates, but I do detect the cinnamon, honey, tonka bean, benzoin, and vanilla. I love how well the notes are blended. It doesn’t resemble Ojan at all, which suffocates me; this is so subtle. It shares the same DNA as Angels Share but is more elegant and less overwhelming. Suddenly, I have a huge desire to buy more perfumes from this house. Update: On my skin, it lasted all day, and the trail was noticeable.
Daima
My first perfume from this house and I love it. I don’t smell dates, but rather cinnamon, honey, tonka bean, benzoin, and well-blended vanilla. It doesn’t smell like Ojan (which overwhelms me); it’s more subtle, with the Angels Share DNA but more elegant. I want more from this house. Edit: It lasted all day with a notable trail.
Dama Incognita
It reminds me of a Greek date dessert, and I do perceive the dates quite a bit on my skin. I’m fascinated by how the gourmand notes (mainly the honey) blend with the cinnamon (which is delicious here), and I sense something resinous that must be the benzoin, plus the oud wood (which isn’t listed, but it’s there and becomes noticeable as it dries). I agree with others that, despite its sweet notes, it’s not cloying and is different from other gourmands I own. The trail and longevity are moderate on my skin, but I have no problem reapplying during the day. I waited for it to be available in my country, and I’m glad I could finally get it.
Dama Incognita
Reminds me of a Greek date dessert that I perceive on my skin. It’s fascinating how the delicious honey and cinnamon blend with something resinous from benzoin and oud in the dry down. It’s not cloying nor identical to other gourmands. Moderate longevity, but I can reapply without issue. Joy to finally be able to buy it.

When diving into niche, expectations are high and the fear of disappointment is too. For me, the dates fade quickly, so the name doesn’t quite fit, but it smells like honey caramel candies with flowers (peony or roses?) and powdered sugar. The warm, gourmand base makes it complete, with a touch of oud at the end. The presence is just right; longevity isn’t overwhelming, but the result is interesting and high-level. The bottle shines in any collection.

Literally dates in syrup, honey, and well-crafted vanilla. It suggests gourmand but isn’t cloying; it’s deep and balanced. A perfumer’s jewel worth every euro. Highly recommended.

It literally smells like dates in syrup, honey, and a very well-crafted vanilla. The ingredients suggest a gourmand perfume, but despite that syrup, it’s not cloying. It feels deep and balanced. A true perfumer’s jewel. Worth every peso it costs. Highly recommended.
SirCharlie
One of the top 5 gourmands: it doesn’t need excessive sweetness. The opening is intoxicating with caramelized, boozy dates. Then it dries down to a balanced cinnamon and honey, sometimes like a spiced, creamy Christmas cake. Later, on my skin, a metallic note (almond) appears that doesn’t interfere. Totally unisex, seductive, and organic. Ideal for dates and cold weather. Note: 10/10.
Kari Dil
Exquisite and not overly sweet for a gourmand. A date delight with honey, spices, and cinnamon, like a tolerable Turkish dessert in autumn and winter. A warm hug for cold days. Moderate to wide trail, better on clothes than skin. I loved it so much I bought the large bottle (the dragon egg). Total delight for lovers of spicy, honeyed sweets. Lasts 6-8 hours without reapplication.
Tutan
Smells like pure dates and honey, almost like sugar climbing up your face. Starts super sweet, like dessert, but then the tone drops to reveal cinnamon, vanilla, and spices that make it less cloying and more edible. For me, it’s unisex, perfect for adventure or going out with conquest in mind—no formal suits needed. It’s like the date you smell at the bazaar in the desert before the journey. My wife loves it. Rating: 8.5. Would I buy it: Yes.
Tutan
Dates with honey: this cologne raises the sugar content more than anything. Opening of dates, honey, and sugar. Gourmand at its maximum. Then the sweetness drops and cinnamon, vanilla, laudanum, and spices emerge, becoming less sweet but still edible. Unisex and adventurous, like the date from the bazaar before conquering the desert. My wife loves it. Rating: 8.5. Would I buy it: Yes.
