Mystique Homme Al Haramain
2
Unique, fresh and revigorating
This perfume has re-opened my "appetite" for Arabic perfumes. Wore it more than 20 years ago.
I (just) bought it for 6 euros(!). It was a blind buy, based on rating and reviews from fragrantica and, partly, on some reviews from Aoro/Notino Romania, my country.
It has a nice, matte bottle with a metallic collar at the top with the name of brand/perfume on it. The cap is metallic, coated at interior with plastic.
The scent is eminently masculine, absolutely unique, not unisex: it is not sweet (in the sense of sugary, gourmand) as some say, but perfectly fresh. It smells more expensive than the price, and the mixture is well homogenized. As I said, the smell is nice: a fresh camphorized dominant mixed with elemi, lavender and citrus. The musk note is also present at the end. I didn't notice the tobacco note, though I would have liked it. The performances are very good: longevity is very good and it has strong projection in the first 2-3 hours. Ratings from here are too low, IMHO. After that it fades progressively but slowly and become skin scent. Overall, I would give it a score of 8.5/10.
PS: nothing in common with PR 1 Million, as some people say on other sites. :)
