Qaed Al Fursan Untamed

“Tried this today at a local store. I got the OG Qaed which is of course vastly different. I got a sample of Eros najim, can’t stand the opening, the citrus is weird.This fragrance however is very good. Better opening and the dry down is extremely similar. Lasts a lot longer than the OG Qaed which is what I was worried about and also smells higher quality.I do think Art Of Arabia 3 is a better option if you’re after a warm winter amber fragrance (+dates) and they’re roughly in the same price range. I cannot comment on projection.”

“Pretty impressive how this one projects way above my expectations (and for the $$$ aswell - worth mentioning!). Very masculine scent, nevertheless that's not a summer fragrance for sure, too heavy. I get mostly nutmeg, vetiver, cedarwood and spiciness in the opening that changes after an hour into sweetness - subtle yet present, develops very fluent. Lasts around 8h on my skin. Perfect for outside during autumn I guess, wouldn't rather recommend for office because might cause a little headache. Haven't tried the original Versace Eros Najim unfortunately so cannot make a comparison.”

“More dark and caramel heavy than Najim with subtle added spice notes. The opening is more round and less mandarin heavy. The drydown isn't as smooth, creamy and nicely caramely as Najim. Performance is poor, weak projection for 2 hours.”
