Sheikh Al Haramain / الحرمين Eau de Parfum

That's true. I also think the same way about Sheikh -Eau de Parfum, which is praised by Al Haramein as a pure men's fragrance. There's nothing citric about this perfume. That's a clue for blind buyers who like citric scents. Forget it.

Sheikh smells unchanged for me from the first spray until several hours later. I washed it right off the skin because I didn't like it at all. On a paper handkerchief I was the only one who noticed the Minzig-Mentholige from the fragrance list, quite weakly. Otherwise, like DerRalle, I would describe it as a synthetic soup made of plastic apple and plastic flowers. I was similarly disappointed by the purple Sung Homme by Alfred Sung.

I find ratings like "Spitzenduft - I was even asked what it's called" completely incomprehensible. Never ever would I get the idea of talking to anyone about Sheikh. I'd rather hold my breath.

To the flacon: Deceptive packing it probably hits quite well. 85 ml in a latticed (lattice is from plastic in the metal look) bottle. which comes along in a giant cardboard. With the simultaneously purchased Aramis with 110 ml content, the outer packaging is only half the size.

Conclusion: bad buy. Penetrating and synthetic.
