Swiss ArabianNoora - Luxury Products From Dubai - Long Lasting And Addictive Personal Perfume Oil Fragrance - A Seductive Signature Aroma - 0.6 Oz

Smells good and lasts all day. Not too heavy. Pretty bottle.

If you know and like Oud, then you know that it can be quite different from conventional perfumes, and not just because it's an oil. The scent may vary depending on where the wood comes from, how it is distilled, how it is mixed and what it might be combined with. This can lead to some very expensive products. I love and appreciate oud, but I don't have the budget to pay five hundred or even a thousand dollars or more for oud.Oud also has a different scent than any perfume. It can have different notes, from earthy, fruity, smoky, floral, woody, herbal, and the list goes on. What it smells like when you put it on is not what it will smell like a few hours later.As a result of this, if you are expecting a conventional experience, you might be disappointed. But if you love fragrance and want a new experience, this is the product for you.This particular product comes in a lovely crystal bottle, packaged nicely in a gift box. I bought it for myself, but it would make a nice gift for anyone.Some people might categorize this as a men's scent, but if you know and appreciate oud, you will find that it is equally appropriate for a lady. I am a woman and I like this kind of scent. I prefer this over a flowery perfume.For me, this is a rather classic oud. On application, the main scent is oud or agarwood, with a touch of camphor and frankincense. It reminds me somewhat of the smells of autumn: a bit smoky, with a tiny hint of drying grasses and burning leaves in the autumn air. All of these things, in the very best way. Put it on, close your eyes and take a deep whiff. You will sense all these things and more, with the overtone of agarwood as the main fragrance, putting you in mind of exotic lands. It's an initially invigorating scent which dries down in a few hours to an opulent oud scent which will make people notice you without realizing exactly what's different and alluring about you. Everyone is different, and so are their tastes, their body chemistry, and what fragrances they find pleasing. This is the one that gets it for me, and after sampling this one, I am looking forward to trying other scents from this company, and even wondering how the different oudhs might combine together.I bought myself a gift and I'm very pleased with it! Thanks!

Beautifully packaged and definitely gift worthy. This will impress any gift recipient! I bought this as a birthday gift to myself because I collect fragrances and love beautiful perfume bottles. This is a delight to the senses from beginning to end. It comes in a luxurious box and the presentation of the fragrance bottle inside is amazing. The bottle is absolutely stunning and has a weight that makes it feel like real gold in the palm of your hand. The aroma of the this delicate musk is apparent as soon as you open the box as it ever so softly makes its presence known. The fragrance oils are very potent so a little goes a long way. The dry down is really where its at with this fragrance so I don't recommend smelling it directly from the bottle. Instead apply a small amount to your wrist and gently dab your wrists together. Let the warmth of your body to allow the fragrance to bloom and you will experience the graceful femininity of this perfume. There is a soft powdery floral note with warm musk trailing behind to give the fragrance some body. It exudes a sense of luxury indicative of aristocracy. This feels like the fragrance of an expensive woman if you were lucky enough to get close to her to smell it. Its exactly what I am looking for.

Intrigued by other reviewers' assertions that this was a nice orange blossom scent, I hit the purchase button and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was so pleased to see it on my doorstep...opened the package, uncapped the bottle and took a sniff. Interesting. Pleasant enough at first but absolutely no hint of orange blossom. I dabbed some on the backs of my hands, just a few drops, thinking it might morph into the sought-after orange blossom aroma I was promised. That didn't happen, and the longer I kept it on, the more cloying, stinky-sweet and pervasively awful it became. I suffered through two hours of an appalling odor that I am at a loss to properly describe. Even after thoroughly washing my hands I could still smell it faintly. It's not just that it is cloying and overly sweet. There's something in it that truly stinks, like a public bathroom that was sprayed with chemical air freshener in a failed attempt to disguise the stench of uncleanliness.I think it may be that my skin's chemistry is not well suited to these Arab perfumes. I have tried several others from the Al-Rehab line and they didn't work for me either. These probably smell much better on darker complected people; I am about as Caucasian as they come - fair skin, blonde hair, light eyes. Sigh. I gave this one to a Peruvian friend and she seemed to like it, so I hope it works out for her.

Smell is great but does last longer
