  A great amber with balsamic and oriental touches of incense, myrrh, and benzoin. The rose adds a floral and powdery note. The opening is citrusy with a rich mandarin. Very similar to SHL’s Khol from Bahrain or Dolce & Gabbana’s Velvet Amber Skin. It has a citrus opening and is less powdery because it doesn’t contain iris, but generally they are very alike. Good performance, excellent longevity, moderate and soft projection. Totally unisex and versatile. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 9, Projection: 6, Value: 5, Versatility: 7, Originality: 8, Overall: 8.5

  A powerful amber fragrance with balsamic and oriental notes of incense, myrrh, and benzoin; the rose adds a floral and powdery touch. The opening is citrusy thanks to a delicious mandarin. It closely resembles SHL’s Khol from Bahrain or Dolce & Gabbana’s Velvet Amber Skin, though it’s less powdery since it lacks iris, but overall they are very similar. Performance is good, with excellent longevity and moderate, almost soft projection. Totally unisex and quite versatile. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 9, Projection: 6, Value: 5, Versatility: 7, Originality: 8, Overall: 8.5

  Here are my first impressions of Sheiduna. At first, I notice the aldehydes giving it a bitter edge and a slightly ‘rough’ texture. In the opening, you get the mandarin (bitter rather than sweet or citrusy) mixed with incense and rose. It’s an effervescent sensation similar to Tauer’s Incense Rose or Zarokian’s Mon Nom est Rouge, but here the resins are more subdued and the mandarin dominates. Then, as it dries down, it becomes sweeter and creamier; vanilla appears alongside the benzoin, blending with the rose to add a powdery touch. You can also detect the blackcurrants, which give it a fruitier aura. Performance is good—I can’t stop smelling it, even though it’s not a bomb, it has just the right potency. Longevity is good, about six hours of projection before settling into a skin scent. Although it’s unisex, it leans slightly feminine, maybe just barely, but I felt comfortable wearing it. It’s a curious, original scent for those who don’t know the references, high quality, though not the most natural; I think Zarokian did this because they use many aroma chemicals. It doesn’t win you over immediately, but I believe it grows on you with wear.

  First time with Sheiduna and the aldehydes hit hard: a bitterness and a ‘rough’ texture you don’t expect. The opening is bitter mandarin (not sweet or citrusy) with incense and rose, creating an effervescent effect reminiscent of Tauer’s Incense Rose or Zarokian’s Mon Nom est Rouge, but here the resins are more muted and the mandarin takes the lead. As it dries down, it becomes sweet and creamy; vanilla joins the benzoin and the rose adds a powdery touch. You can detect the blackcurrants, which give it a slightly fruity vibe. Performance is solid—not a bomb, but it has just enough punch to keep you smelling it. Good longevity, about six hours of projection before settling into a skin scent. It’s unisex but leans slightly feminine, though I felt comfortable wearing it, unlike some other scents that felt off. It’s curious, original for those unfamiliar with the references, and high quality, though not the most natural; I assume Zarokian did this because they use a lot of aroma chemicals. It doesn’t win you over at first spray, but I think it grows on you with wear.
