an acquired taste, 21 Feb. 2015

Al Sharquiah is an acquired taste, and the more I sniff it, the more I like it. I am not too fond of gourmand fragrances and this one smells like honeyed dates, but it is not excessively sweet as the woodsy-camphoric notes (must be the agarwood) balance it well and adds up to its interesting character. The secondary notes are floral and a bit of vanilla.The beauty and fun with these oil perfumes is that you can use them on their own, or combine them on your skin and obtain a brand-new one, to your liking. For instance, Al Sharquiah in combination with Nebras would turn in to a bright flowery-woodsy perfume, with Soft into a light, lovely oriental and with Choco Musk, into a truly gourmand fragrance. Hope this helps!

Sensuous and long lasting, 28 Sept. 2014

I took a chance on these perfumes as the one I was looking for no longer seems to exist, based on the price and reviews and the type of perfumes I like, I thought it was worth the risk. This particular scent was gorgeous. Sensuous and powerful, it hooked me from the first use, I'm about to order my second bottle. A little goes a long way and lasts a long time. It's hard to describe the smell and I don't know how to adequately describe it in parfumier words, so I'll say it's exotic, spicy, musky with deep floral notes and I can't get enough of it.

Lovely smell, 14 Aug. 2013

This perfume oil smells lovely, very rich with an almost smokey sweetness to it, and it would be equally nice on a man or a woman. The little bottle is about 3 inches big, with a rollerball to make application easy and clean. It smells expensive, and the only reason I have not given it five stars is because it doesn't last quite long enough on me so I have to re-apply it a few times throughout the day. The smell is really very nice though, a little similar to Saat Safa, and is quite luxurious.
