Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.
The main body of the scent, emerging as the top notes fade. It shapes how the fragrance smells once it settles on skin.

Bergamot and green notes open before melon, pineapple, amber and a gourmand accord build a sweet fruity middle. Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition closes on vanilla, musk and woody notes. 82% of voters combine on long lasting or eternal, and sillage is strong for nearly half.
Bergamot and green notes open the scent on a fresh, slightly bitter edge before melon and pineapple bring in a juicy sweetness. Amber and a gourmand accord sit alongside the fruit, thickening the middle into something warmer and more dessert-like than the opening suggests. The base is where the amber character fully emerges, with vanilla and musk building a soft, sweet foundation and woody notes adding structure underneath. The shape moves from a brief fresh-green opening into a sustained sweet, fruity-amber character that carries through to a woody-musky close. The gourmand accord sitting alongside the amber is what gives this its richer, more dessert-like quality compared with a straight fruity-amber composition, and it is the amber and gourmand pairing that dominates the impression far more than the brief citrus opening.
The bergamot and green opening is short-lived, fading quickly to reveal the melon and pineapple underneath. From there the fruit and gourmand accord dominate for a long stretch, with amber building steadily alongside them rather than appearing suddenly. As the fruit notes soften, vanilla and musk come to the front, and by the later hours the woody base notes anchor the scent into a warm, sweet-amber finish. This is a fragrance that spends most of its time in the fruity-amber middle rather than moving through distinct, fast phases, and the woody notes in the base only really assert themselves in the later hours, keeping the sweetness at the centre of the scent for most of the wear.
Longevity here is the strongest of this batch: 42% of voters call it long lasting and a further 40% call it eternal, a combined 82%, with under 4% rating it weak. That points to a scent built to last a full day and beyond. Sillage matches that strength, with 49% rating it strong and 27% calling it enormous, only 3% intimate. This performs as a genuinely heavy, room-filling scent rather than a close-wearing one, and is worth wearing sparingly with that in mind.
Season votes are close to evenly spread across all four seasons, with spring (28%) and autumn (25%) marginally ahead of summer (25%) and winter (22%). Daypart voting is also close to even between day and night. Together this points to a genuinely year-round scent rather than one tied to a specific season or time of day.
Gender votes centre on unisex at 59%, with female-leaning (16%) and male-leaning (11%) roughly balancing each other out. Combined with a fruity-amber-woody profile that doesn't sit sharply on either side, this is a genuinely unisex fragrance.
Voters most often compare it to Erba Pura by Xerjoff, sharing its sweet fruity opening and a similarly rich, amber-driven character through the rest of the wear.
This suits anyone wanting a rich, sweet amber scent with genuinely heavy staying power for year-round wear, day or night. It works best where strong projection is wanted rather than a light, close-wearing option.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
