How small is so big!
What a shame that this amazing perfume was discontinued!
The scent opens with lemon, May rose and almonds
A perfume for women but it is truly unisex!
The scent has nuances of " Amber Aoud" our just with the addition of almonds
I really love this scent, so elegant and so sensual at the same time

For me : 8 /10

Ahlam which means dreams in arabic, and which also is a name
My opinion is that this perfume is better than the roja aoud and roja amber aoud. It has a nice, not strong flowery touch to it which makes it soft and classy. It don´t always need to be a nuclear perfume to make it a great scent.

Magic
For days the sky was gray, the air damp and cold, transitioning from November to December. Light was missing, the gray blanket hung heavily over the city. People hurried along, bent and introspective.
Then, one morning, the sky was suddenly bright, covered with a fluffy white layer through which a winter sun cast its soft and blurred milky light. I stood there in awe, gazing at this shimmering spectacle, unable to take my eyes off this sky; it was as if a fairy had waved her magic wand, and you could still see the silver sparkles that had escaped. The sky was covered as if with gauze or the finest silk, through which the milk of winter light scattered.
The noise around me suddenly fell silent, and in the middle of the city, I felt as if I were in a fairy tale, believing I could hear delicate, soft sounds from afar; for a moment, everything stood still.

There are moments that are so surprising in their beauty that one is momentarily catapulted out of space and time. That’s how I felt when I experienced this fragrance for the first time. This shimmering light, this finesse, delicacy, and yet strength, the coolness resting on a warm layer. I don’t even want to dissect the scent, although I perceive the citrus notes, the wonderful flowers that are so light and fluttery, hardly sweet perhaps due to the iris, yet held on this warm bed of the finest oud, sandalwood, musk, powder, and amber.

The colors for me are bright violet, pink, silver, white, and cream, and as a base, all shades of violet, gold, and blue.
The music that represents the mood for me is Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1.

I had a friend try the fragrance; she was so surprised, an Aaah escaped her as she took her nose from her hand, she was enchanted. I can only express my admiration for this masterpiece, and I am grateful to experience it.

Addiction vs. Reason - Who Wins?
In a blind swap, I managed to get a new bottle of Ahlam... I had never smelled Ahlam before, but somehow I had the feeling that I might like it based on the ingredients.... Do you know that feeling when curiosity is greater than reason?

Well, the swap was already finalized, and after what felt like an eternity of waiting, it finally arrived... Ahlam - still in its plastic wrap - shone at me... My fingers were tingling... that wonderful feeling when you can finally take a bottle out of the wrap and packaging.... I love that ;-)

Thoughts were racing: "What if I don't like it...." ---- "A blind swap with Roja fragrances can really go wrong or cost a lot...." ---- "And what if it stinks..." --- "Aah, careful with the plastic..." --- "It has rhubarb in it, I don't even like that" --- "You probably didn't look at the fragrance pyramid closely enough, did you" --- "What if it's really as sweet as someone said here...." --- "Ahlam, what does that actually mean" --- "Floral-sweet - not necessarily my type" --- "Open the box: ooooh it shines so beautifully" .....

Taken out of the beautiful golden packaging, from the velvet bed, a sweet and high-quality bottle - just like Roja...

Then the big moment: took off the pretty stone cap and sprayed a little on my wrist.....

Thoughts racing again: "There's lemon, I can recognize flowers: Ylang-Ylang and jasmine are very clear" --- "fresh and floral..." --- oh, marzipan or almond is super clear: not sticky or gooey - more fluffy and sweet... --- "Oud comes in, not stinky oud..." --- "wow, how beautiful..." --- "oh, it really is beautiful..." --- Yes, the blind swap was a good choice..." --- "mmmmh, there's a bit of powdery fluff coming..." --- "that could be sandalwood, creamy-woody-noble..." --- "Damn, there are only 30ml in the bottle..." --- "Is there a bigger size...." --- "www.Roja.com - Search: Ahlam...." --- "ooh, 100ml - - - - 295.- £..." --- "Damn..." --- "Salary just came in yesterday...." --- "Shopping cart - add...." --- "Ahww should I or shouldn't I...." --- "Order finger twitches" --- "Don't you want to use the 30ml first..." --- "Confirm..." --- "I wonder how long delivery will take..."

Yes, who among you doesn't know that...? Sometimes addiction overtakes reason, pushes it aside, and races to the finish line....

I really like Ahlam, even though it is a rather sweet oriental :-)
The bottle with the pretty stone cap, as always with Roja: top-notch
Longevity: in the upper range
Sillage: right after spraying: suuuper, but after about 15-20 minutes it diminishes a bit and Ahlam pulls back somewhat. Compared to other Rojas, it is rather "subtle"

Addiction has won, and I am happy ;-)

Luminous, unforgettable opening in the style of Amber Aoud, quickly calms down into a soft powdery, sensual, pretty, more intimate floral.

Candy-rose with oudish tail
It is really not my taste
There is a very little thing that saves it from total asexuality (maybe Ylang-Ylang ?)

For Ahlam, I forget any temperature. A divine essence of the fragrance world. The perfect blend of rose, violet, powder & oud. Magnificent.

Smooth oriental,
that lets the sun into your heart.
Dusty sandalwood note,
trapped in almond cream.
First Roja that I really like.

Reminds me of Amber Aoud, just much finer/lighter. The flowers, bright musk & powdery notes make it feel "fresh"-elegant.

Nothing is too much.
