What people who wear Ard Al Zaafaran Meethaq Extrait De Rouge report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“This is Oriana through and through. LDBS has that tinge of civet in the dry down that Oriana is missing. Both fragrances are very similar, but I can definitely tell them apart. This is a stronger, longer lasting Oriana. I’ve only had this for 2 days so I know it will only get better with manceration .”
“A stronger louder version of Oriana. Didn't love how the drydown ended on fabric but on skin very pleasant. Lasts all day. Close enough to Oriana to leave the OG redundant if this is in a collection. Glass bottle is beautiful and heavy too. Smelled both side by side to test. Have not tried LDBS so can't comment on comparison to it only Oriana.”
“People are saying Oriana, LDBS... this smells IDENTICAL to Sintra by Memo, just minus the dark, gasoline note in the background of Sintra. So I actually prefer Meethaq... I mean what can I tell you? It smells like a niche perfume. Performance is softer and more medium but idc. It's beautiful. Sweet, feminine orange blossom, very slight bubblegum vibes, blend is perfection and the bottle is beautiful. Wow.”
