What people who wear Arabiyat Prestige Bois Blanc report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Opening is really nice. I think I prefer it over BI’s opening. It’s sweeter, with a laundry fresh sharpness to it. But also has that pepper which I love. The drydown is pretty indistinguishable from BI’s. Maybe BI is a bit more mineralic there but on the air I don’t think anyone could tell. Or I don’t think I could. Great performance.”
“Undeniably inspired by Bois Imperial which is one of my TOP 5 fragrances ever, but it's fresher on the top from the candy-like grapefruit and slightly creamier in the dry down from the amberwoods and ambergris, where Bois Imperial is a bit spicier and dryer. Overall 90% similar, and I get no difference in the quality. I was sceptical when blind buying this, but to my own surprise I prefer this one over the original.”
“This was a bonus from decantified. Thanks! Really nice. Sweet, spicy with a lot of wood character. A near perfect year round office scent. Not really something I need to add to my collection, because I have a lot of similar things, but you can't go wrong here.”
