This a clone of "The Spirit of Dubai Bahar"
This is a clone of "The Spirit of Dubai Bahar" I bought Powerful Boadicea Exclusive new plus a sample and then I realised it smells exactly like Bahar tried comparing it side by side had 4 people smell it and everyone said it smells similar. In fact all of them liked Bahar more except for 1 friend. I returned powerful back. I cannot fathom spending $1.1k on a Bahar clone which is already expensive and an amazing perfume.
The opening of powerful has more prominent citrus note compared to Bahar within an 1 hour you get Jasmine & Lavender which last another hour and the dry down is smooth Sandalwood with hints of Vanilla. Fragrance turns dry powdery. This fragrance doesn't perform too well. Compared to Bahar - Bahar hits the mids much faster due to Sandalwood in the mid notes and base notes. But in air people wont be able to tell the difference. Bahar has better projection when compared to Powerful.
Most of the people who bought Powerful are Boadicea collectors who like to display their collection - mainly based in the U.S and hyping it up for its exclusivity, high price and bottle design. There are one or two who have hoarded multiple bottles of this fragrance and sell it time to time probably to gain popularity in the group as a provider of discontinued fragrance. But when I talk to them in DM. They admitted the projection isn't as much. They bought its specially for the collection and look of the bottle.
I was chatting with a YouTube reviewer Troyd247mall who I consider an honest non biased reviewer. He also admitted Powerful is not worth the retail price at all. It rather sits close to the skin and doesn't project. I will certainly admit the bottle does look good.
