Tafakhar
These name means : to show off
And honnestly it does truly show off it smells so freaking good , i was stunned by the smell yes its clear its a cheapie but if it makes sense u dont feel it as a cheapie at all ,
-when i bought these going out of store the first who stopped me two young people telling me what am wearing since i smell so good , after that 10min later
Two girls walking behind me were whispering how goergous i was smelling
I get plum,nutmeg , a hint of bergamote
Sorry for my novice nose
Anyways cool how is longevity its average 6hr and 30min but hey wanna boost their longevity ??
-with companies like lattafa and ard al zaafaran use it a day or two so oxygen gets in then leave it for 6-7 weeks So it macerate it will performe better 1-2 hr more
Bottle may please some , and some may love it
For me great looking , cap is plastic but holds in place but dont grab it by cap
But who grabs a parfume bottle by cap anyways ??
For final words these purshe was 17€
And am all happy 8.5/10.

Boozy plum & marzipan (inspired by Carlisle)
First of all, best regards to the Parfumo "Duftfieber" who sent me this sample for free.

I found out about Tafakhar via Youtube.
Allegedly a Carlisle dupe.
For 14,99 € of course interesting.

As expected, the fragrance was great, but the performance was weak.

Tafakhar starts very sweet and alcoholic.
Sounds cheap and synthetic, but after a few moments a beautiful plum comes in.
And now it comes across as a boozy plum that is very pleasant.
I would describe the plum more as a dried plum.
Quite dark, boozy and sweet.
The sweetness is also reminiscent of marzipan without smelling too marzipan-y.
As the fragrance progresses, it becomes a little creamier due to the sandalwood and also spicier.
But everything is quite pleasant, this is not a spice bomb like Spicebomb Extreme or Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum.

As already mentioned, the performance is rather weak.
I get a radiance of 1h here, with 6 sprays.
And even in the first hour, it's not exactly strong.
It's more of a fragrance that's perfect for work or when you're cuddling with your partner Then it shouldn't bother anyone.
If you want to stand out, you need at least 10+ sprays and even then I don't really know if that would work.

Like Carlisle, Tafakhar is a unisex fragrance, but I see it more on a man.
Because hardly any women own Carlisle either, at least here on Parfumo (2% of users, as of today).

A really nice fragrance for the winter.
If you say to yourself: I don't need a strong performer, then you will definitely be happy with this fragrance.

This is far from Carlisle. The leathery note reminds me of Bentley for Men Instense instead.

Tafakhar is close to Carlisle, but Carlisle is more round, more refined, real quality. The bottle looks simple and cheap unfortunately.

I wouldn't say that I really like Carlisle DNA, but Tafakhar being less distinctive, is more friendly to my nose, and easier to wear.
