What wearers say
“I (female) got this as a decant.Not bad.Pretty Smokey, some sweetness. Banger performance, lasts forever. A million notes in this one.Sweet Smokey dry down. While it leans masculine to me, I may consider a full bottle after my decant is used up. We will see.”
“Turath (Heritage), by The Spirit of Dubai, smells like sweet oudh, warm Chai spices and a sharp, pungent smell.This perfume reminds me of Honey Aoud, by Montale. I would like to compare these two, side by side, to see which one I would prefer. I think Honey Aoud would win, because even if I like the sweet and warm oudh opening in Turath, I can't look over the sharp smell that is uncovered in the dry down.”
“PriceThat is the problem with such expensive fragrances. It is good, but the perceptions of value and price are almost never equivalent. Does the fragrance have high quality? Certainly, yes. I paid a lot, I liked it a lot, but it's definitely not worth what it costs.Without poetryIn my skin, incense is very present. Fruity, smoky and leather with oud overtones. Oud very easy, even for a hot and humid climate like that of my country.This scent reminds me ofNew York WIDIAN for sure.PresentationA lot that is useless. The finish is not good. Anyway labels and glue appearing.”
