Arabian Nights......or Fresh Days?
As can be seen from the fragrance composition, this scent is not dark at all! Nevertheless, the name is fitting, as the top note is very fresh, and the jasmine and musk from the heart note are immediately "embraced" by the mandarin and citronella (more of a light lemongrass).
And when the top note slowly fades (but lasts extremely long!), the cocoa butter comes into play! This makes the scent very sensual and elegant, and one perceives a very pleasant, soft creaminess! And it is precisely this note that brings the association to the "night"!
I find that the scent reminds me of a bathhouse on a cold, Arabian night, illuminated by small candles scattered everywhere, and as soon as you enter the bathing room, the finest flowers adorn the steaming water... jasmine and a hint of clove! Musk gives this fragrance a certain soapiness, which fits perfectly with the scenario described above!
I discovered this fragrance at the Arabian Oud Store in London while I was looking for a scent as a gift.....and, what can I say? I liked the scent from the very first minute, so elegant! But not too elegant, thanks to the complementary yet light freshness from the mandarin and citronella!
The salesperson then introduced me to other products, but I couldn't let go of this scent after I had tried it on myself!
In my opinion, this fragrance can be worn by young women from 18 upwards as well as by the older generation. It is not too oriental, as it is more of a very harmonious fusion of Western and Arabian perfumery!
I don't have many points of comparison regarding women's perfumes, so I cannot draw a comparison with Western women's fragrances!
However, this scent completely convinced me and stands out from the crowd with its elegance and simultaneously light freshness, especially since it is not too sweet!
Even though my wallet was £35 lighter for 3ml of this perfume, it is worth every penny! As for the dosage, I can only say that a very small amount of oil per application is sufficient, as it is already very highly concentrated!
By the way, Arabian Oud has very nice gift packaging :) a small faux leather box wrapped with a white ribbon, which is included for free with every purchase of "loose perfume oil"! (meaning: the oils that are filled from the large glass decanters in either 3, 6, or 12ml.)

I give Arabian Oud 100%, further words are unnecessary! ;)
A must-try for anyone who has the opportunity! ABSOLUTELY!
Just a small addendum:
I was able to test Lady Million, and to be honest, the top note is very similar, not quite as sticky fruity, more of the lemony aspect from the top note of Lady Million, but it does have a certain resemblance.
