The Oriental Powerhouse...
Hello everyone,
before I get into certain aspects regarding the scent - I want to share 1 or 2 other things.
I am someone who has arrived in the extremely high-priced league, but I never forget my roots and where I came from.
What does that mean?
I not only write reviews of expensive fragrances, but I also enjoy writing ones like this from time to time. Additionally, I used to only have those in the price range (up to €60), as I could hardly afford more back then (tuition fees, etc.).
The packaging / the tube is very reminiscent of LV in its structure - but here there is an additional velvet layer = nice. You can like the bottle and the shape or not, both is perfectly fine..., my first thought was "ok, something different".
The bottle and the cap are really well made for the price range and give a very decent impression!
Lastly, I want to mention openly and honestly that I do NOT (!) like the scent, nor the brand, so in my opinion, one cannot act more unbiased.

About the scent:
It is always a bit thankless to write about oriental fragrances... Because what is oriental? In my world, it is a mix of, for example, spices that do not grow in the Western world, such as saffron and nutmeg, cinnamon, etc., along with this woody oud base with (clean) musk, a hint of leather, and the HONEY creates a very successful composition.
But why only a 7.5?
This is not so easy for me to say...., the scent is on one hand very synthetic = which is completely understandable given the low price. I also know what is qualitatively possible. Even if the fragrances play in a completely different LEAGUE, that is clear to me! But this type of fragrance is no longer for me today, although it used to be!
But the biggest plus point besides the price (I'll get to that shortly) is its performance. Because it is outrageous, abnormal, and INSANE (in a positive way). Honestly (!), if we set aside DUPES, then the Marj Eau de Parfum is probably the strongest scent you can buy for €65.
POINT.
If a "budget" fragrance lasts 20 hours on my skin, then that is worth all the honor!
Now, about the price:
I have already hinted at it indirectly. The Marj Eau de Parfum is one of the best fragrances (!) in the range up to €65 (excluding dupes).
However, its power also has 1 or 2 disadvantages:
It can go to your head and cause headaches. Due to its POWER, it should be applied sparingly = your surroundings will thank you for it!
Can I recommend it?
Absolutely test it!
If you like it, buy it!
Blind buy?
If you like oriental - sweet and heavy fragrances, then yes, the loss in value is absolutely manageable.
UNISEX?
It is absolutely UNISEX wearable!
And now have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny

"However, I never forget my roots and where I came from" ... the best line in the entire review. 😅

Is a certain honesty something bad?
