AROMA CONCEPTS | Fakhama Maison Asrar Perfume 3.38 Fl Oz | Long Lasting Eau De Parfum for Women | Sophisticated Vanilla, Musky & Gourmand Fragrance | Fakhama Gulf Orchid Perfume with Floral Elegance

Smells so sweet but it doesn't give you a headache. The bottle is so beautiful. I find marshmallow less pronounced than Kilian Love don't be shy, for me it's much better. It won't stay to next day but it will stay on you for hours.

Context on Me as a Perfume Fan:I’m a big perfume fan who usually LOVES straight-up gourmands. Think vanilla, chocolate, tonka, almond, pistachio, etc. My mom, on the other hand, gets headaches from most gourmands & prefers florals (which I don’t usually go for). I LOVE this perfume because it feels like the perfect middle point! She has complimented this on me & I enjoy wearing this. It's floral but doesn't feel too grandma-y like other florals can smell to me.Compared to Other Options:If you’re a gourmand lover looking to dip into florals, this is a great option. If you’re a floral lover who wants something a little sweeter & richer, I think you’d enjoy this too. Compared to the OG LBDS, this one seems to have slightly less longevity. Versus Ansaam Gold (Lattafa’s version/dupe of LBDS), I actually like Fakhama better & get a longer weartime from it. Lastly, I’ve also tried the travel size of Dossier’s Floral Marshmallow, while that’s probably the closest in scent profile to this, the cost per ounce breakdown is still more affordable on the Arabian side, which makes Fakhama the overall best choice for me.Longevity & Wear:I have VERY dry skin, so fragrances don’t always last long on me. That said, if I layer this with an oil (my favorite combo is Dr. Teal’s Almond & Shea body oil plus the Marshmallow version of the Choco Musk perfume oil roll-on), I can definitely get a full day’s wear! For example, I photographed a long concert yesterday - lots of moving around, being sweaty, & surrounded by sweaty people for 6+ hours - & I could still smell it on myself when I got home.Presentation:Something I love about most Arabian perfumes I've tried is the presentation & the bottle! The box it came in was GORGEOUS & very secure to ship in. The bottle seems to be glass & the cap has a really nice weight to it! I love the circle shape of the bottle, very aesthetically pleasing to look at & to hold.Overall:If you smelled & liked Love Don't Be Shy by Killian, you will like this! Although it's not returnable (which I usually don't buy anything without smelling it first or being able to return it), the price point & quality is great in my opinion & worth the risk of purchasing! I will probably be buying another bottle of this so my boyfriend can have his own to wear haha

This is quite a lovely fragrance! The orange blossom and fluffy marshmallowy notes are absolutely beautiful. Personally, I'm getting about 3 to 4 hours of longevity. The bottle is beautifully designed as most of the Arabic bottles are. The juice is a very pretty amber color. I had no problem with shipping as everything was intact and on time.

This is the best dupe of Kilians Love Don’t be Shy I have tried. And I’ve tried them all. I’m obsessed! Strong projection. Soft. Not too sweet like some of the other dupes. Warm. Beautiful: Scent’s amazing. Definitely will be ordering again and again!

Another blind buy. As a collector of fragrances I have bought any perfumes blindly. Never sure if it will be a hit or a miss. This one is a definite HIT!!! Some perfumes you jave to let sit a little qhile to get the full effectThis is great straight outta the box! It is a fantastic dupe for Love Don't Be Shy! This is a beast mode perfume for sure. It is sweet and the projection is nice. It is strong but not strong like give you a headache strong. My boyfriend says its the best perfume I have gotten as of yet. Highly recommendWould give 6 stars of I could. Don't think about it just get it. It is a safe blind buy!

It was broken. Showed up in pieces glass all over the place. The fragrance itself smelled OK but really hard to tell.

I bought this after getting a sample of the og LDBS. I am addicted to that scent, but cannot justify spending that amount right now, as I have placed myself on a budget, in order to make my first home purchase. It was love at first spray! So I decided it in my suitcase and bring it along for a trip! Big mistake! Long story short, the bottle broke in my bag and my lovely perfume was gone!! I had heard the dupe house that starts with a “D” makes a marshmallow perfume whose scent is also spot on, and they were having a sale so I decided to try it. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THEM! Theirs lasts all of 10 minutes l. The scent completely disappears. I was so disappointed. A day later I gave it to my daughter and came straight here to order a second bottle of this stuff! The longevity is exactly what I remember getting from the og. It lasts for hours!!

This is supposed to be a dupe for Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy. It is! Beautiful bottle. Point on scent. Unsure about longevity as I haven’t worn it enough to know. I recommend it and I will purchase again.
