“I am not surprised if people are now talking about its dupes as much as this one.😆 I know Reef 33 gets to be classed as a dupe when it's more of a prototype. And speaking about dupes, I have a new addition: Reverie by Makkaj. Removes the davana note and half of the original's intensity but still lasts more than 12 hours on your skin. Two puffs max.”
“Well I guess you’ll hate it or love it. I love this scent. For me it smells like Oud for Greatness but fresher, more versatile and wearable in summer. Nuclear projection and longevity. Definitely signature scent worthy if you love this scent profile.”
“This fragrance has a classic Arabic scent profile, warm, rich, and instantly luxurious. What truly stands out is its excellent longevity and very strong performance, both in projection and sillage. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a bold, memorable scent with a powerful Middle Eastern character.”

Brings clary sage, mineral notes and marine notes to the mix and skips agarwood (oud), leather and sicilian bergamot from the original. Voters say it fades sooner on skin. It sits closer to the skin than the original.
