Absolutely High Quality
The heavy bottle appears very high quality, featuring a metal embellishment at the front, and the golden handle has a synthetic leather insert. The box and the bottle are covered in a kind of brown velvet.
The first impression after spraying was a great surprise for me. The scent is very high quality and harmonious; even the dry down completely convinced me with its vanilla scent and very woody finish.
At the beginning, I thought I smelled something fresh and almond-like, embedded in strong smoke. Majid al Sultan has a greenish undertone, which could be due to the resinous smoke.
Myrrh + incense are clearly the scent theme here. However, I would have preferred the slight sweetness to be a bit more subtle. I couldn't detect the supposed base notes of fir and cedarwood; I rather thought I was smelling the fragrance of "Molecule01." The overall scent progression does indeed have something woody about it, which perfectly rounds off the entire composition. I also really liked that there is a scent development and that the finish was so pleasant.
According to Google, the fragrance pyramid is structured as follows. Top: Smyrna, smoky notes, Heart: myrrh, incense, saffron, pepper, Base: resins, amber, fir, cedarwood.
Regarding wearability: as already mentioned in a comment, the fragrance can actually be worn anytime and anywhere; it mainly depends on the dosage. The first test today was in hot summer weather and at work. Two short sprays were perfect this morning. For me, Majd al Sultan is a fragrance for special occasions - it also fits well for uplifting the mood.

Very well described. I would wear the scent more in autumn and winter.

Not a bad scent, but unfortunately I've smelled something similar too often...
