I've wanted to write my opinion of Queen of Sheba before.
What always hindered me was the fact that I found an incredible amount of parallels with Good girl gone bad but never compared them directly. Until today! Fragrance pyramids are similar and actually I owe a review to bad girl because she was my companion for years.
Now I have betrayed her and pay homage to the Queen.
Before I write down here the experience of my nose must say one thing in advance.
It will be a comparison between the two scents. I just can't do it any other way. I love them both. Please be gracious.

The Queen of Sheba opens with Very ripe peach, strong osmathus. With GGGB, the peach is still too young, but juicier.

The ripe peach remains for quite a while until then very slowly and almost inconspicuously white flowers come to it, I can not exactly assign them, + something faintly sweet-vanilla, probably the tuberose that joins shortly before the end.
In GGGB, the floral is offensive, dominating over the sweet and staying on a wavelength with the osmantus.

To the end comes the vitiever. Notes from the incense and wood unite quite wonderfully with peaches. After about 3 hours is of the
Flowers no trace more.
With GGGB, the woody, which one expects at the end, is almost non-existent for my perception, a breath of nothing. Pfisrich and flowers give the wood no chance.
Sillage at GGGB is much more colorful.
Durability at GGG is better.

All in all, these are 2 fragrances that are siblings in the head and heart, but end up going down different paths.

Queen of Sheba is a great Oriental, Fruity-tart, with serious character, which unlike the GGGB does not go with jeans and sneakers.

Thanks for reading)

I'm not a big fan of extremely fresh scents. Because I'm warm-hued, they open up all weird, unattractive on my skin. But I love oriental scents more than anything. The warmth and sensuality with which they embrace you is a feeling of happiness for me.
Because I heard about the freshness before, Azora was automatically not a particularly exciting candidate for me.
May the desert gods forgive me for that!
I had misjudged Azora.

About the fragrance.
After the first spray came a fresh breeze, Nope! A giant wave from the Persian Gulf. Does this freshness fit an Oriental? At first I thought "not."
The freshness was impressive and a little exaggerated, but in no way in an unpleasant way, then came to lychees and flowers, woods and musk all seemed so incredibly harmonious until the end it remained in harmony. By the way, I find musk particularly cuddly and gentle in all Attar fragrances. Here is no unnecessary sweetness to expect.
Sillage and durability are strong.
Definitely unisex.

I fell in love with Azora. This is a great fresh oriental fragrance.
I see a great similarity with Fleur Narcotique, but Azora I find more authentic and successful.

The first spray has blown me away. Nix with unisex I thought, absolute men's fragrance.
Like a pushy Bazaar salesman who wants to sell me his wood-slit figures, when he's gone is suddenly in front of me one with the fine spices, very friendly guy. I decide to buy from him Vannila for it he gives me a small bouquet of desert flowers.
I leave the Bazaar soulful and surrounded by sensual, warm-fluffy essences.
To the fragrance!
The fragrance opens with a dominant cedarwood and bergamot. Then it becomes more sensual and feminine with beautiful florals, pachouli and vanilla. I can't find passion fruit in there. I find it average to nice but a bit too simple to remember. Still, it's a pleasant oriental. The bottle is disastrously made, the plastic has sharp edges in places and looks cheap and unattractive. They could have done better.
