Well meant, but..
First of all: I was initially enthusiastic about some Arabic fragrances, but more and more often this enigmatic synthetic "thing" creeps in and spoils the fragrance experience.
Among the impressive things: Packaging & flacon: great, wants to convey a high-quality impression, manages to do so, but on closer inspection the label & cap are again slightly crooked, the heavy, bulky flacon somewhat oversized and the details of the design somewhat clumsy.
About the fragrance: first impression - WOW! What a ... yes, what actually ... a massive fruity floral bouquet vapor cloud that develops quite quickly into a disorderly restroom fragrance with elevator music quality in peach & cleaning musk.
And connoisseurs know what I'm talking about: that synthetic sharp background noise that causes a slightly rough throat coating and makes your nose crinkle. I don't know what it is, but it's not pleasant and I'm noticing it more and more often in some Arabic brands.
I didn't notice much of rose, magnolia, yes, but very synthetic, rather a floral mishmash with artificial peach and synthetic musk.
Perhaps meant as a doupe, but I don't know which one.
