Ifrah Al Absar

Fruity scents? I'm all in!
Unfortunately, many of them come off a bit synthetic, and the Ifrah is no exception.
It's sweet, fruity, but also artificial.
However, synthetic doesn't always have to be negative; some people actually appreciate that vibe.

The opening is indeed synthetic, but it offers an exciting fruit mix.
It smells very tropical and delicious.
I can clearly detect the banana, as well as the pear.
The coconut remains more in the background but contributes to the necessary vacation feeling.
Despite the noticeable synthetic quality, the opening is really well done.

In the drydown, the banana dominates, reminding me strongly of Haribo's foam bananas.
The notes blend together over time into a harmonious whole, making it difficult to filter out individual components.
It almost feels like you’ve thrown banana, pear, and coconut into a blender.
The jasmine is also present but gets somewhat lost in the fruity mix.
It gives the fragrance a slightly feminine touch.

What remains is a tropical fruit cocktail that, as it develops, smells less synthetic and is accompanied by a subtle floral note.

The performance is rather mediocre.
I find the projection to be quite weak, which makes the scent more of a companion for intimate moments.
However, it lasts about a day on clothing.

I don't know the original "Maui In A Bottle Sweet Banana | 37 | Kayali," but this is exactly how I imagine it.
Overall, it's a lovely scent, but personally, I find it a bit too feminine.
I can, however, easily picture it on a woman in summer.
