Aaaaah,… you’re going to call me picky right away, but I have to tell you (once again) something about myself. It’s something I absolutely cannot stand and it drives me almost crazy. No, I’m not talking about you perfumes :D
I can actually stand you quite well, I even like you, honestly, but you still drive me crazy! :D Occasionally, at least… he he he.
No, what I mean is having oily or greasy things on my hands. When eating, for example, it shouldn’t be that bad, since you use a napkin on the side (or at least you should!! :D). But that’s exactly where the problem starts: I know enough people who, especially while eating, don’t even know the meaning of a napkin and have to touch everything with their sticky and greasy fingers after they’ve just held a greasy chicken leg with their whole hand. Because everything that is touched like that (without wiping their hands) gets a greasy shiny film of oil and to put it simply: It’s just disgusting, man!!!
I mean, I like to eat with my hands too, but that doesn’t mean I have to touch EVERYTHING without wiping my hands first!!
And when you often have to eat with such people (which is unfortunately not always avoidable among relatives… :D), and they then hand you, for example, the cola bottle, the wine, the salt shaker, or even the bread (aaaaaargh!!!!),… you just want to drag these people off the table and kick them out of the apartment, or run away yourself if you’re the guest! :D
Aaaah, it could be that I developed a dislike for oily things on my hands precisely because of such people, because some people just disgusted me too much, yuck… tell me, am I too sensitive? I’ve tried to overlook these people, but it just doesn’t work,… not when the table companions literally eat like pigs :D
Thus, testing this oily fragrance was almost a horror for me, as the fragrance liquid was so greasy and oily, waaaah!
The scent:
At first, I smell “various” fruits like plums, oranges, etc… some are not identifiable, but you just know they are fruits. I would say that the plums stand out the most.
As is typical for an oriental fragrance, it also has a rather sweet note due to the jasmine, and you can especially smell roses. Rather sultry notes like ylang-ylang are hardly noticeable. This makes the fragrance feel fresher.
Only later does the ylang-ylang come into play, but it only makes the scent slightly heavier and more sultry. The fruity notes continue to stand out along with the jasmine and rose.
In the end, you still smell fruity, but now less intensely. The fragrance is still sweet, due to the musk and jasmine. In the background, I can still smell light, woody notes, and that’s it. Nice, but not incredibly spectacular.
The sillage and longevity:
Wow, I applied just a tiny dab and I smell the fragrance very intensely. If you spray it on or apply a larger amount, it will likely smell quite intense for a very long time and will surely be noticeable from a distance.
Thus, the longevity is also quite long. Not so much that you could smell it from morning until late at night, but it is detectable on the skin for at least ten or twelve hours.
The bottle:
The bottle looks great. It’s something completely different from conventional bottles. Here you have a gilded container with an oriental shape, but surprisingly with few oriental-looking patterns and ornaments. In the middle, you can see the inside of the bottle and thus the amount of fragrance. The cap also has the shape of a roof from oriental buildings. All in all, there are certainly more beautiful oriental bottles, but this one also looks great.
Argh, oily oily…
Some know that I come from Turkey. And one of the national sports of Turkey is oil wrestling. You really slather yourself with olive oil and wrestle with another fully greased wrestler. The bodies touch each other and you share the oil with the other wrestler *gag* I could never do that!!! Probably not even for money :DD
Aaaaah, be that as it may. Sultan von Al Haramain has turned out to be fruity sweet. It’s actually nothing special, but it’s not bad either. And that’s always the problem. You could use it, but for me, it’s not good enough to be purchased. Well, due to the oily consistency of the fragrance liquid, this scent wouldn’t even be an option for me personally as a decant.
But anyone looking for a fruity sweet oriental that can be worn in spring and autumn might want to check out this fragrance here. It starts off a bit feminine but later becomes unisex.
As I said, it’s okay, but just not for me.
