Magnificent ! Wonderfully gentle yet powerful fragrance.

Opening this bottle was like finding a treasure chest of exotic, alluring scents.

It opens with a seductive sweet, spicy note, develops into a wide, fresh, tingling deep fruitiness, showing base notes of musk, vanilla and powdery trails.

I've experienced many of the world's leading perfumes: this has to rank among the very top, yet its price is very low. My cost was only GB£4.15 (less than US$7) for the 15ml bottle (half ounce) including inland UK postage.

Al Haramain offers a marvellous range of alcohol-free perfumes. For me, Makkah is the best. I rank it far above my three other most recent purchases: L'eau D'Issey, CH Men, and Bvlgari pour Homme. I'm a private individual, not associated with Al Haramain. As a hobby, I make perfumes and colognes.

Not a leg pull. Then unfortunately for this perfumer there must be more than one Saudi company with that name because if you type Al Haramain into google all sorts of warnings come up.

The Al Haramain perfume web site is: www.alharamainperfumes.com

I just accessed it, came up immediately. I think maybe the message below about hacking and government warnings is a leg-pull !

Tried to go to their site. It's been hacked. There are government warnings out. Good grief. One day we'll all get along, like we do with previous foes: Germany, Japan, Vietnam. Wish we could skip the drama and go to the being friends part.

I am also a great fan of the Haramain oils in general and these cigarette-box ones in particular. I have tried several and except for the horrible Salma, they are wonderful. My favorite is the Amber. They make such great gifts!
