What wearers say
“I first purchased this in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, back in 2018. I was recommended this by the store clerk as it was one of the best seller's (btw back then I didn't know about BR540)Ever since then I've gone through a few bottles and each time it's pulled compliments...it doesn't last as long as BR540 or the more recent Armaf Untold, however I prefer it...its a tad more sharper imo and masculine...Definitely worth it when Arabian Oud do their 50% sales...”
“Not sure how release date is 2022 - I've had this since 2018. It's a (very) slightly masculine-leaning BR540-leaning scent with a fruity-aquatic twist. Packaging is fantastic!”
“A refined, albeit simple, linear fragrance that ticks the right boxes.With clear comparisons to BR 540, this incorporates a static vanilla scent with clean cedar but a mineral/ aquatic overtone dominates. It is the initial jolt of Saffron that brings this to life, however, and it stays ever consistent throughout.I understand why this has a loyal fanbase, but something about it does not click with my skin chemistry perfectly and comes off a little too synthetic.”
