I have the Beauty Oil from the same line Oriental Ayurvedique, I have been using it for years for my hair because of the scent and I can't get enough of it!
It smells warm, embracing, cozy, relaxed, luxurious, feminine..
Like a pampered trophy wife after a complete spa stay including sauna, hammam, peeling, and relaxing massage in a renowned 5-star wellness hotel.
That's why I bought the perfume blind, even though I never buy perfumes blind as a principle because my nose is particularly !very! picky, but I had hoped it would smell just like the oil; unfortunately, it smells different.
Maybe because one is oil and the other is alcoholic.. maybe the pyramid is a bit different too, but unfortunately, the perfume doesn't impress me.
It smells more unisex to me and spicier and more oriental in a negative sense.. less feminine and heavy.
Maybe it's the benzoin note, which I've noticed I don't really like.
I've generally noticed that every product from the line smells different, whether it's scrub, lotion, shower gel, oil, or perfume, even though everything comes from the same fragrance collection.
My favorite remains the Beauty Oil, and it has enough strong sillage to serve as a perfume.
Unfortunately, I will probably give it away or offer it here in the souk.
What I have learned from this is that I won't make any more blind purchases :D
