Jawhara is a Jewel
My interest in Arabic fragrances was sparked last spring by a perfume gifted to me for my birthday. I was surprised by the quality-to-price ratio and since then I have ordered several, based on notes and reviews, blindly. So far, no disappointments.
When I smell this fragrance, I think of a beautiful young Arab woman with long black hair, almond-shaped eyes with perfect eyebrows, and velvety skin. She has become confident and independent, yet she is proud of her culture and heritage. The scent does not deny its oriental origin for a second, as a spicy aura accompanies it the whole time, even though it does not start off with sweetness, exaggerated spices, and oud.
It starts off rather fresh, slightly green, and quite floral with lavender and mimosa; later, sharp cedarwood joins in, beautifully playing with a fine oud note. About an hour later, it becomes somewhat soapy due to sandalwood, and I notice a touch of bitter tobacco and a hint of sage (both not listed in the notes). A slight warmth is brought in the drydown by the amber. In the end, I smell sweetly warm soapy lavender with woods, along with a small drop of oud.
Overall, Jawhara has a special but not distancing coolness. It is also not as sweet as other oriental fragrances. It has a certain seriousness. For this reason, it suits men well, who are not disturbed by the initial floral notes. Lavender was originally only used in men's fragrances. It is suitable for daytime, office wear, and any weather, except perhaps very cold winters, when the soapy quality might be emphasized.
This is "Terre aromatique" by Lalique squared. Stronger, more lavender, more spicy edge, more sillage and longevity. More uniqueness!
A beautiful name for yet another very successful Arabic fragrance!
