At first, it felt like a less rough dupe of Ylang 49. I don’t get the citrus, but the white and yellow flowers smell much fresher than in the dupe; it’s like smelling chamomile in a florist where the flowers accompany the standout infusion. At first on skin, I didn’t like it because I felt it bitter like the ylang, but after washing and reapplying, the scent became easier to accept. It smells like floral soap, so I feel it’s more feminine and not fresh enough for a hot summer. I’ll wait to see how it evolves; I thought the citrus would dominate, but I also don’t feel it’s woody. Edit: I’m not convinced by the vibe; I only detect flowers and more flowers, can’t find the woods. They aren’t sharp or unpleasant, but it’s like smelling chamomile among many flowers, and I struggle to find it soapy. It’s a pleasant aroma, but to my nose, it just smells floral, feels mature and feminine, and I struggle to want to wear it. That said, it lasts forever and the projection is powerful; you flood the room when you spray it, to the point I doubt if I’m smelling oud among flowers, but I don’t think so. Since I can’t sell it, I’ll come back with another update.
It smells like soap, a really rich soap, super unisex. Ideal for hot days, something between casual and semi-formal.
The lemon note in the dry down is way too heavy, even annoying to me; it’s like they squeezed the juice but included the peel and a few seeds, leaving a citrusy yet sour aroma. Despite that, I don’t know what it is, but this perfume makes me sniff it over and over again; maybe it’s that floral note that lingers past the first hour that gives it that quality. Maybe I need to wait for it to mature and release that desert breeze it’s inspired by. As for longevity, it delivers its full 8 hours with moderate projection for the first two.
I tested this quickly, but the scent is unmistakable; it immediately reminded me of Blue Sapphire by Boadicea but in a brighter, fresher format, without the dirtiness of the oud in the original version. Lots of pale rose, ginger, citrus, musk, a great perfume, I definitely need to test it more in depth… it could also remind me of the Al Qurashi version similar to Blue Sapphire.
