Fhaldara

This is a very clean smelling cologne, very herbal in character - lives up to it's name in that regard! It's listed as a men's fragrance, but I think many women could wear it - I wear it myself. I've seen it classified as a citrus aromatic, here it's described as woody/oriental, but I would call it an aromatic fougere. I guess it depends on who is doing the smelling, but it's a very likeable cologne with surprisingly good longevity.

This is a pretty fragrance, but very light. I mainly get the cucumber and musk, with a slight touch of melon. The florals are present, but are so much in the background that you have to look hard to find them. Moon Goddess is a skin scent from the start, and doesn't have much longevity - I'd hoped for a little more lasting power from an oil. Still, it's a well blended scent that manages to work quite well for the time it does last. I think this one will be at it's best in warm weather, and best worn for quiet times spent in your own company.

Another good oud fragrance from Al-Rehab. This is stronger and less sweet than Sultan Al Oud by the same company, the honey note tempers the woody sharpness only the slightest bit. Some reviews have called it medicinal, but it is this deep rich 'earthiness' that characterizes the oud scent for me. A few have said it has a strong chemical smell, but I don't get anything that remotely resembles a chemical odor. These Arabian oil fragrances are quite strong and long lasting, a few drops give me a scent that lasts all day. Dehn Al Oud is great by itself as a predominantly oud fragrance, but I also enjoy layering it with other perfumes and/or essential oils to create different scents too. It's very enjoyable however you decide to wear it!

I find this to be an excellent oud fragrance, very long lasting. The woody sharpness of the oud is softened just slightly with the addition of vanilla, great for times when you want a lighter scent. It's good on it's own, and also lends itself well to layering with a variety of other perfumes and oils. I totally agree with the many reviewers who said that they find the quality of this fragrance to be FAR higher than it's price. I've been trying to convince people for years that expensive does not necessarily equal quality, mostly to no avail - but I've personally tried samples of quite a few high priced oud fragrances, and found Sultan Al Oud to be as good, and in some cases better, than all but one of them. I'm looking forward to trying more of these Arabian oils! EDIT: I'm wearing this today layered with violet leaf eo - it's a FANTASTIC combination!!

Looking at the notes listed for this I thought it might turn out to be a very sweet floral. When I read reviews for it, several people said that lily of the valley was very predominant. I love lily of the valley, but I have many fragrances that feature it, and I wasn't looking for another. Sweet florals don't appeal to me either. However, there were some reviews that stated it wasn't sweet at all. The idea of a perfume made up almost entirely of florals right down to the base was interesting, so I purchased a mini bottle. It was a good buy, because I love this one. It's floral all right, but not sweet in the least, and I don't find the lily of the valley to stand out over any of the other florals. It's very green, and right on the verge of being sharp. Each flower makes it's presence known, yet you really have to pay attention to pick them out individually. All of them come with leaves and stems intact. This is not a soft scent, it shouts out "Hey, I'm a floral" in no uncertain terms. It's full blown bottled springtime!
