Worthy of philosophers and poets
As the brand says, "Tamima is an olfactory allegory to the princess and poet Tamima, wife of the Almoravid sultan Ali ibn Yusuf of Morocco."
Tamima opens really woody and soft-spicy, best described as "herbal-spicy". There's no citrusy brightness here. Eucalyptus gives it a really strong herbal note, and layered with oud and neroli the combining effect is a really serious, mature and even "old-fashioned" perfume. I detect no sweetness, no vanilla, no creaminess. Reviews available online puzzle me: how can anyone classify this fragrance as sweet, vanilla forward or creamy perfume? (Just to add I have a flacon and been using it for some time now, when I'm in the mood. So no testers, no decants, samples...)
Yet, I don't want to say Tamima is a bad fragrance, quite the contrary. It's longevity and sillage are "beast mode", bottle is beautiful and heavy, sprayer great and a cap elegant and solid. Fragrance is more of a fall and winter one, in my case it evokes meditative and reflective mood, pensive state and mature demeanor.
Tamima is dominantly woody, with dusty, herbal and even Iso E nuances. Very elegant, prominent and beautifully composed. But don't be tricked, there's nothing cuddly, sweet or vanilla forward here for you.
