Maybe too much of one ingredient?
I bought Faisa as a blindbuy, with the hope that he is similar to the Amber Aoud of Roja,. With a retail price of €270 for 100ml, it is almost a third cheaper.
The expectations are very high on my part, due to the very good reviews.
The bottle looks high quality, is good in the hand and is heavy. The only thing that bothers me is the wobbly lid. The closure is magnetic.
I test on a fragrance strip and on my forearm.
The first sniff smells cinnamon, with ylang yang and some saffron. The lemon brightens the scent a bit. It smells round and high quality with a very good projection.
With a little time, a Turkish rose and wood joins in, but...
In the top note and drydown, I perceived a fragrance that I could not assign. Initially, he was quite discreet in the background. Over time, it became stronger until it massively disturbed me. It most closely resembles a whiskey note, which is not specified in the fragrance pyramid, however, or too much burnt caramel. This note became stronger and stronger in the drydown and began to annoy me, so I actually had to wash off the scent.
Conclusion: Faisa smells very high quality, in the top note in the first moment it resembles the Amber Aoud something. For me, however, no alternative, because I do not like the drydown. The sillage and the durability are very good to excellent, although I can only judge the durability on the fragrance strip.

I want more - addictive potential
The name Absolut Aphrodisiac sums it up very well. I can't stop sniffing it.
The first impression is sweet and creamy with a very pleasant vanilla note. This is joined by cotton candy and a pinch of spice. The musk rounds off the fragrance very well.
It hardly changes over time. For me, it has recognition value.
It is not suitable for hot summer days because it becomes a little sticky at high temperatures.
The large amount of ethyl maltol makes it a unisex fragrance.
The longevity and sillage is excellent on my skin.
