Amouage Blossom Love in a more feminine way
"Junoon Rose | Al Haramain / الحرمين" is, as can be seen from the statements, not a perfume that will appeal to everyone.
Therefore, it is also not a candidate for a blind buy (in my opinion).
About the scent:
The fragrance starts off quite alcoholic and fruity.
Almost like a cherry in a Black Forest cake accompanied by leather.
Suede is actually supposed to be in the base, but I perceive it already in the opening.
Gradually, this alcoholic note becomes more pleasant, and in the drydown, it is fortunately not as intensely piercing as in the opening, but it remains, and only then do you perceive it as Amaretto.
Although not as distinctly as I initially thought, and if I hadn't read the notes, I wouldn't have realized that it was Amaretto.
But it definitely goes in that direction.
So, anyone expecting realistic Amaretto will be disappointed here.
In the further drydown, it becomes more floral.
A sweet rose comes through more and more, supported by heliotrope, which makes it quite powdery.
Towards the end, it becomes a bit cleaner and more floral.
Nevertheless, it remains a heavy, sweet, dark, powdery scent with a slight oriental touch that has a hint of leather and is therefore not entirely safe.
As already mentioned in the title, Junoon Rose is an alternative to Blossom Love Eau de Parfum.
Not identical, but very similar.
The Al Haramain is indeed more feminine but definitely not too feminine.
Unisex would fit better, as it might smell a bit too masculine for many women at the beginning.
Gradually, it becomes more feminine but is still very wearable for both genders.
Performance:
The performance is strong.
A few sprays from my decant almost gave me a headache.
For 2-3 hours, the projection was very good to strong.
I have stronger fragrances, but JR ranks very high in terms of performance.
Longevity was unfortunately not tested on skin, but on clothes, it lasted at least 48 hours, then I had to remove the top.
After 48 hours, I had to bring my nose close to the top to perceive it.
Versatility:
Everyone has to decide for themselves where or when to wear JR.
But for me, it's a candidate for colder days or cooler summer evenings.
In enclosed spaces, definitely dose cautiously.
My conclusion:
Strong performance, interesting scent that is very unique and leans towards the niche direction.
For me personally, it's a bit too heavy, too dark, too sweet; I expected/hoped for something different.
However, anyone looking for something in this direction could be happy here.
Best to do as I did and first get a decant.
Because this perfume is not so cheap that one should dare a blind buy.
