According to the paper sample pack I got it is ...

'A sheer blend of Italian Bergamot and Violet leaf reveals its femininity of Lily of the Valley and Orris Blossoms that continues into a drydown of smooth Sandalwood, Vanilla, Patchouli and Suede Musk."

The violet leaf & florals dominate here and unfortunately I dont like violet leaf so this isnt for me... Average going to skin sillage and lasted about 3 1/2 hours on me..

Shafali Fleur Rare, on me, is a warm, sweet, vanilla, white floral oriental. Citrus makes a short appearance at the very begining but quickly dissappears. The vanilla is strongly present throughout with white florals (jasmine) and the resin very noticable. I also smell honey, maybe the orange blossom..

Sillage opened strong, then staying about 6 inches. Lasts 3-4 hours which is average on me.

Reminds me of JPG Classique but not exactly the same. I love it.

I have the splash mini with a red cap and a splash full size with yellow cap. Both are EDT. The cap color doesnt seem to make any difference in strength or longetivy to me.

From what I've read elsewhere this is an oriental fragrance with amber, vanilla, woody notes, fruity notes and floral notes. I got the roller ball as I love orientals.. well most.

Bakhour started very strong, room filling even. I have acidic skin so that may affect how it smells on me, but smelling from the bottle itself it's still the same.. I get a sharp sour smell like moldy roses and sour lemons, a touch of greenness and I can tell there is sandalwood hiding in there also, but I dont detect any vanilla or any sweetness. It's a very heavy scent.

I've been wearing it for about an hour and the sillage is still about a foot away from me and the scent itself hasnt changed. I will be washing it off soon so cannot tell how long it would last.

I'm sure there are others who would love this but it is not for me.

I purchased a new mini so it must be the reformulated version. I've read great reviews elsewhere on the original so thought I'd give it a try.

This opened with a sharp, sour citrus making me think of grapefruit and some spices. It pretty much stayed that way until fading into nothingness after a half hour, thankfully. Sillage was stron for the first few minutes then faded into a skin scent. Other than the cute bottle this one just isnt for me.

I have read elsewhere that the notes are vanilla, caramel, orange and sandalwood. No rose or jasmine like given above, and I do not smell any florals in this either.

I have the roll on oil. I smell vanilla, orange and chocolate. Reminds me of the chocolate bars with orange bits in them. My husband picks up the caramel.. I almost want to lick my skin it smells so good.

This is a very sweet gourmand, but not too heavy. The smell stays the same throughout the day, without changing. It does last a long time on me almost 12 hours, but the sillage isnt that strong to me only about 4-6 inches above the skin.
