What wearers say

“Oh I yeah i agree this is nice, however i can't purchase it as i already own Oud Thameen by Lattafa which is an original creation of theirs. Smell a bit similar but the only difference is Arabesque opens up with plum included Oud thameen swaps out the plum for Bergamot, which makes it a bit brighter, fresher and jucier. Also have to consider the price point and performance. Oud Thameen is about $30 and can go between 6-8 hours, not sure what Arabesque performance is like since i only sampled it. Either way i think you get compliments from this fragrance genre as i've gotten several wearing OT.”

“Great smell, good performance, great price.Arabesque smells quite similar to TF Tobacco Vanille. Where both smell like chai latte to me, Arabesque also has a soft fruity plum note that lasts for the first half of the wear.”

“This doesn't even have 1000 votes in 10 years? Insane. Everyone I gave it to try liked it, both those who are not into perfumes at all, and those who are.It's a beautifully blended, rich scent with one of the best plums out there together with Plum Japonais (no, the scents are not similar). I can see why it can be cloying for some, but this is not Arab-level or anything close. However, it's not the most wearable stuff out there, I wouldn't take it to my office or similar.”
