Maze is delicious—a typical Arabic combination but with something that sets it apart from the classic oud-rose: the praline and orange. I’m reminded very slightly of Ora Ito’s Smiley, or that’s what I’d like to believe.

Maze is a beast. It’s a classic Arabic blend with a unique twist thanks to the praline and orange notes, almost reminding me of Ora Ito’s Smiley.

Very soft and citrusy rose, even though it’s not listed on the box. The mastery lies in that blend with bergamot. Strong and expansive opening, followed by a linear trail with that neutral, soapy rose—very versatile. It’s like a clean, soapy lemonade, ideal for the office or dressed up or down. It crushes it hard for the first hour and a half with good sillage, but then it fades quickly, lasting 4-5 hours on skin and maybe one more on clothes. I’m testing it in January and it’s cold, so its performance isn’t optimal; it’s better for spring or summer. I’m not going to hype it; it’s not heavy like others say. The bottle is gorgeous, very heavy metal and glass, but the atomizer and cap are cheap plastic. Probably won’t buy it again due to the short longevity.

Soft and citrusy rose, even though it’s not listed on the box, achieved beautifully with bergamot. The opening is powerful and expansive, settling into a neutral, soapy rose that’s super versatile. It’s like a fresh, clean lemonade—perfect for the office or casual wear. Projects heavily for the first hour with great sillage, but the longevity is short (4-5 hours on skin, maybe an hour more on clothes). I’m testing it in winter and think it would shine more in spring or summer. I’m not hyping it; I’ll save it for the right season. It’s nowhere near as heavy as DarkBeat claims. The bottle is gorgeous and heavy, a mix of metal and glass, but the atomizer and cap are cheap Chinese plastic. Probably won’t repurchase due to the performance.

A great Al Haramain perfume with a powerful opening, about 1.5 meters away, a complex rose that’s rounded yet sharp, addictive from the first spray. The bergamot and green notes are very noticeable; the opening is a blast. Then the rose intensifies, sandalwood emerges, and that vermouth note comes through, reminiscent of white martini, combined brilliantly with the bergamot and absinthe. It’s rose but unisex thanks to the incense and absinthe, with no heavy woods. It smells like a crafted perfume, not pure oil, and is super refreshing. It has me hooked even though I don’t usually like roses; wearing it on a cold, rainy afternoon is exquisite. By 2.5 hours, it settles down, leaving a pleasant incense-rose but a simpler scent profile. The bottle is a marvel of metal and glass. It lasts 8-9 hours with 1.5 meters of projection for the first two hours. Price: 17.95€ for 50ml. Highly recommended if you like rose.

This smells a lot like Al Haramain Madinah; it’s basically their Intense version turned up to the max. What sets it apart is that Maze is intensified to the extreme, and while Madinah is already powerful, this surpasses it in sharpness. The opening is more citrusy and adds a lovely touch of absinthe that Madinah lacks. From there, the scent is almost identical, except at the very end, Maze leaves a very subtle caramelized sweetness from tonka bean and praline, which isn’t noticeable in Madinah. In short, it’s the same scent but much stronger: a very Arabic rose wrapped in woods, musk, flowers, and resins, with an elegant finish. On my skin, it lasted over 10 hours, with a strong trail at first that later drops to moderate; it’s a perfume meant to be noticed. Given its intensity, I see it as ideal for cold or temperate climates, not so much for heat. In my opinion, it’s better for night, though it can be used during the day with moderation, provided it’s a fresh autumn or winter day. If you like rose perfumes, try it: if you get hooked, you have two options depending on what you’re looking for. If you want something strong and intense, choose Maze; if you prefer something less powerful but equally long-lasting, go for Madinah. Both are excellent perfumes with an amazing price.

Smells a lot like Al Haramain Madinah, like an extreme Intense version. Maze is sharper, with a citrus opening and a touch of absinthe that Madinah doesn’t have. Then they’re almost identical, except at the end, Maze leaves a tiny sweet spot of tonka bean and praline. It’s an elegant Arabic rose with woods and musk that lasts over 10 hours with a strong trail at the start. Ideal for cold or temperate weather, better for night, though if it’s fresh in winter or autumn, it can be worn during the day. If you like roses, give it a try: if you want it strong, choose Maze; if you prefer less intensity but the same longevity, go with Madinah. Both are top-tier with an incredible price.
