Al Hajes Nabeel

As a lover of oriental fragrances I have ordered some perfume oils from Nabeel. With about 15 Euro per 20ml even a wrong purchase would not hurt very much, moreover the flacons are small works of art from One Thousand and One Nights.

The smell of Al Hajes made me feel controversial. On the one hand, there is a strongly flowery, earthy note that appears dark and musty at the same time. The dark spirit that ruthlessly stamps through the flower bed is incense. Accordingly, the perfume will probably also meet with mixed reactions in the noses of (European) fellow human beings. These will probably range from "mystical", "fascinating", "sensual" to "morbid", "repulsive", "over the top". With this perfume, you never sit in the second row. If you apply a little too much, you will inevitably be noticed in every room. This is also due to the strong Sillage and, of course, to the fact that people are not used to such scents in our climes and the smell sensors will curiously filter out the unknown smell.

Who should try the fragrance? People who don't want to hide and those who love heavy, opulent fragrances in the YSL Opium category.

The shelf life is very high as expected from a perfume oil. So is the Sillage. My taste has been met by the scent. He seems mysterious to me and dances with big steps from the mainstream series. I think the unisex factor is high.
