Flowers from the Near East
This EdP is produced in Israel and serves as a good bridge between the East and the West. Ein Gedi has a range of biblical scents in its collection and leans on original formulations of ancient perfumes.
Lights of Jerusalem is clearly a feminine fragrance, as the flowers are prominently in the foreground. The mandarin, which opens the scent, is immediately overshadowed by the flowers (mainly jasmine), making the citrus aspect almost negligible. And not just at the beginning, but all the way to the end, the flowers dominate, lightly dusted with a bit of powder. Even the myrrh, which provides the finish, does not allow jasmine & co to take precedence, but merely rounds off this perfume at the end.
The longevity is good, although not as long as Essence of Masada, which is also by Ein Gedi.
The strong sillage also does not compare to that of EoM.
The bottle is classically designed, nice but quite simple - it unfortunately cannot win any awards for its appearance.
I would recommend this EdP to all ladies who are tired of mainstream perfumes but still hesitate to try an Arabic fragrance. The entry into the oriental world is very well achievable with LoJ. If you like flowers and want to cautiously explore the East olfactorily, I wholeheartedly recommend LoJ.
