Junoon Rose Al Haramain 2019

The first spray immediately put a smile on my face. My blind purchase was successful... how many times have I had a “well, it’s okay but nothing special” or even worse “oh dear, we won’t be friends”? This time it was this combination of citrusy leathery opening that brought the first wow to my nose... almost a bit piercing but in a wonderful way... in the development of the scent, I clearly smell the cherry blossom similar to Sakura from Rituals, which I also find absolutely beautiful... the longevity is extraordinary and it leaves a soft creamy floral base for hours. I think it’s great for late summer/autumn as it is, overall, powdery and expressive.
