Gharaam Swiss Arabian 2019 Eau de Parfum

Swiss Arabian is the native perfume brand of the United Arab Emirates since 1974 I became aware of this brand in 2012, when I moved to Dubai for work at the time and spent the following 3.5 years there.
Swiss Arabian makes among other things dupes to well-known fragrances and from the price-performance ratio, this brand is simply unbeatable. The durability and sillage is extraordinary, on the Gulf is anyway generously perfumed what the stuff holds.
Even the clothes are incense with "Bakhoor" (fragrance blocks).
Discreet, body-orientated waters are quickly lost there.

Now I've made my way back to Dubai, one of my first ports of call was, of course, Swiss Arabian.

One of the new releases of the house is "Gharaam" with five other fragrances it thus belongs to the new "WAAW Collection".

Gharaam is an Arabic unisex name and roughly translates as
Love, devotion, infatuation, devotion.

With Gharaam the house has produced a Baccarat Rouge 540 Dupe, since this is my signature fragrance I have of course not long thought and immediately struck.

Since I have already written a detailed commentary on BR540 and many also know the fragrance, I would not like to go into the fragrance description here but rather describe a brief comparison.

I just sprayed on both fragrances and within a short time BR540 faded away; Gharaam definitely wins in terms of longevity.
The sweet floral jasmine note comes through more strongly in Gharaam and still has a spicy fir resin note among other things, which I personally really like.
The heart note is clearly dominated by amber; warm and radiant like an amber.
In the base, the cedar is more intense and beautifully balsamic-woody.
The characteristic saffron note has turned out a little lighter than in the model or original.
In addition, Gharaam is not quite as sweet as BR540; absolutely unisex suitable and in my opinion a nice companion for cooler days.
Gharaam smells, however, a tad more synthetic than BR540.

Overall, I would describe the scent as an ambery, "golden" cotton candy, I could detect the scent on my jacket for days to come.
Woody-sweet, slightly floral, it even reminds me of the first version of BR540 (before that was apparently reformulated).

Gharaam is more budget friendly -costs half- and so far the best BR540 dupe I've come across.
The sillage is very satisfactory, despite mouth protection and safe distance I could Gharaam at a friend who has also bought the fragrance- very well perceive :-)

The bottle looks decorative with the gold cap and the decorations of the initials of the line (Arabic "waw" letter) and also fits perfectly with the contents in terms of color.

The fragrance is available in Germany as far as I know only online, who knows BR540 and loves, Gharaam can confidently order blind :-)
