The story of Leylâ and Mecnun wonderfully interpreted
It is a great pleasure for me to write the first review of this wonderful fragrance.
In short: lovers of Dior's Oud Ispahan will not want to miss this fragrance!
The parallels are there, but Junoon has much more complexity and is, in my opinion, the much more pleasing fragrance.
With Junoon we have a fragrance that interprets the love story of Leylâ and Mecnun phenomenally! This story is an oriental love story of the man Qais and his beloved Leylâ. Despite the two lovers, the story does not have a happy ending. (Warmest recommendation here at this point.).
However, Junoon is different, giving me a good feeling from beginning to end. You can literally feel how the love and passion of two lovers has been thematized here. This fragrance is a prime example of a unisex fragrance. While tuberose, tonka, vanilla and rose reflect the feminine part, lavender, labdanum, oud and saffron are the masculine part.
I also find the addition of sage and the previously mentioned lavender note exciting. This gives the fragrance subtle ethereal, fougère-like notes. The oud adds the finishing touch to the labdanum and the rose and is not overpowering or thick in the air. The vanilla, tonka and patch base is also sweet and, above all, finely balanced.
While Oud Ispahan remains linear (which is not really a bad thing), Junoon develops into a silk scarf full of comfort and allows us to immerse ourselves in the olfactory pleasure brought to us by none other than Hamid-Merati Kashani. ( Chapéu at this point!)
If you want to smell like an oriental dream without compromising on pleasantness, Junoon is the perfect choice.
