KHADLAJ PERFUMES Hareem Al Sultan Gold Concentrated Perfume Oil for Unisex, 1.18 Ounce

Move over Chanel, YSL and other designer perfumes…this is INCREDIBLE and SO much less $$$!!
I’ll admit it. I have a very large collection of designer perfumes kept in a dark, cool cabinet to preserve their fragrance. Hey…everybody collects something, right? I’ve always loved wonderful perfumes, beginning in college with Faberge Woodhue and moving on to Chanel classic #5, Coco, YSL Opium, Gucci, Armani, Dolce and Gabbana and many through the years. My preferences lean toward sweet/spicy/woodsy/warm in the fall-winter, and fresh/bright/cool in the summer. A couple of years ago a friend introduced me to the amazingly beautiful and varied high quality, long lasting fragrances being created and produced in Dubai and the UAE in exquisitely beautiful bottles….at astonishingly reasonable prices!! I also discovered the wonderful scents of OUD wood which are frequently part of Middle Eastern fragrances and now more and more in Western designer perfumes. They’re not everyone’s “cup of tea”, but if you like woodsy/spicy notes in fragrance, they are certainly worth trying…many are incredibly reasonably priced. THIS particular perfume, though, is NOT a woodsy fragrance, but an amazingly attractive warm, happy blend of sweetness and spice. Definitely not overpowering and not “your grandmother’s perfume” as some say (though I liked my grandmother’s perfume…on her : ). Very often Middle Eastern perfumes are produced in oil form, as this one is, and is longer lasting than the more typical Eau de Parfum you might otherwise use. This perfume is beautifully and skillfully designed with a wonderful array of notes which blend perfectly together. Throughout the day you’ll enjoy how the scent evolves as it lasts from the morning when applied until the evening. Hint: to make any fragrance more long lasting, first apply any kind of lotion or body oil, or you’re just out of the shower/bath and the perfume oil will become one with your skin. If you’ve not tried these gorgeous perfumes from the Middle East, this is an excellent one to begin with…read the notes of the fragrance in the description to see if they are the ones which appeal to you. If not, check out the other perfumes by this “House”, either the Blue or Silver also here on Amazon as likely the notes you’ll find in either of these will be the ones you’re more attuned to. I have since purchased these others as well and often layer them together. I so enjoy these fragrances, and other Middle Eastern perfumes, that I can’t tell you the last time I’ve reached for one of my more usual perfumes. I’m so happy to find them now on Amazon! In addition to smelling heavenly at a wonderfully reasonable price, with something like a unique piece of jewelry (the bottle) for your vanity or dressing table, you will definitely be wearing a fragrance unique to you and different from those you recognize on everyone else! Be ready for compliments on what you’re wearing. It’s fabulous in every way : )

Honest Review…
Shipping+Appearance: I saw tons of review that said it came open/leaking but my came in perfect condition! The lid is a bit unscrewed because I just tried it on before taking pictures but the box, bottle, were in perfect condition.The material the bottle is made of seems to be glass, metal, and fake gems. Aside from the gems, it’s high quality and seems to be durable. I’m not one to care for the gems, I bought the product for the perfume. It may bother some people and I will say that you can see (at least on my bottle) that it was glued on. It may bother some, it may now, but it’s no bother to me.Smell: Okay, literally, this is the best smelling perfume I’ve gotten. It’s definitely sweet and floral but here’s the catch and something to keep in mind when buying: THE SCENT CHANGES!!When you first put it on the scent will be subtle, floral, and sweet. After a few hours of wearing it (tested it out this whole week at work), I noticed it because it became slightly sweeter and smelled like vanilla! The vanilla scent will more similar to the KUUMBA MADE Fragrance Oil Vanilla Bean. The changes in scent is NOT BAD at all! I think it’s definitely a nice change and it still smells wonderful! It’s just that the floral side of the fragrance will be more subtle! It becomes lightly floral smelling, but the vanilla really comes out the more you wear it. However, I know many people could be confused or upset with the change in fragrance. SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND!It still smells wonderful but I also know that some people do not like sweet vanilla smelling scents.The sample carry on spray it came with also smells wonderful! BUT, it’s a slightly different scent. It’s definitely stronger and it’s not a bad scent either. Still sweet, maybe more floral in my opinion.TIPS:The perfume WILL last a long time. I wash my hands and forearms a lot at work and while not as strong, the scent is still there all day and sometimes even after the shower! It just depends how much you put on!I don’t put much, a little goes a long way, but I do put it on with lotion! I use Johnson Johnson baby lotion since it’s my preference, but I noticed that the scent spreads easier, and adds a softer touch to it since it’s not just PURE perfume on you. I would recommend trying it out!Overall, LOVE the product and I will be buying again! I have another one coming in, the blue and silver bottle from this brand, and I will be writing another review on it as well!!

Give it a minute
I heard a lot of good things about this fragrance, and I was excited to try it. I will say, initially it smelled way too floral for my taste. However, after a little while, the scent changed to a more vanilla, musky smell, which I really like. It’s not going to be my everyday choice, but I will definitely wear it!

A la persona que se lo regale le encanto por su aroma a bergamota

nie jest urzekający i nie emanuje elegancją i wyrafinowaniem, nie jest również trwały

To be honest, I half expected to get a fake based on the reviews from India, but this was not the case for me. Whew! Received an original package and the smell is divine. It would be overwhelming if you like mild perfumes, so be warned. I mixed this perfume with Prada paradoxe and it smelled gorgeous. Ahhhh
