"Junoon Noir | Al Haramain / الحرمين" is, for me, a classically "light" fragrance. Bright and feminine, very delicate yet loud enough. To start briefly: as a dupe for "Casamorati - Dama Bianca (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff" (which seems much more sensible by name), it is certainly not a disappointment. Those looking for a slightly louder alternative will find it worthwhile in my opinion. The "Casamorati - Dama Bianca (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff" quickly becomes quieter or more intimate on my skin than the "Junoon Noir | Al Haramain / الحرمين". For super-trained noses, it is certainly not a 1:1 dupe, but I perceive a good 90% similarity in scent. On my skin, I personally notice almost no differences, especially not when pulled purely from memory.
Regarding the fragrance itself: with the first spritz, I immediately perceive a blend of top and heart notes. At the beginning, it is beautifully citrusy, but not sharp, rather sweet with a (slightly powdery) iris note. Lily of the valley and jasmine together bring this "light" vibe for me, which has very little to do with noir. If you let the fragrance linger on the skin, it becomes wonderfully vanillic and slightly balsamic for me. It does not have that vanilla dough cookie and cake vibe, nor is it a gourmand powerhouse. If gourmand, then more with a body lotion association. It is simply bright floral, soft, and very rich creamy with this slightly citrusy-sweet kumquat, which makes the fragrance very special for me. It has this creamy, well-groomed vibe with a citrus touch. For the first spring days, it is one of my favorites. Anything over 25 degrees is purely a matter of taste.
And as a PS: If you like the fragrance, I can hardly recommend Golden Dust Perfume Oil or "Cheirosa '40 | Sol de Janeiro" or Vanitas for layering. :-)
