At the beginning, I perceive it as resinous, with a hint of coconut accompanying us for one to two hours. During the scent development, I thought I smelled something like paper. The fragrance is quite smoky and has a strong sillage. After spraying it on a test strip, I left the room, and upon returning, the whole room smelled.
Of course, fragrances should also be applied to the skin - that’s how I generally test them.

A little later, Queen of the Night also reminds me of cotton candy and becomes slightly leathery. A smoky bourbon vanilla then becomes increasingly dominant. I find the scent development very rounded and harmonious, the fragrance notes are well intertwined.

The bottle is a true work of art, however, the price of 300 - 350,- € is "somewhat" exaggerated. There are no exotic or expensive notes like oud present.

Now I am also curious about Vinegia21, although I don’t like the bottle at all. A great vanilla scent would still be missing from my collection.

Uomo Intense starts dry and fresh, somewhat reminiscent of lipstick. Somehow I also thought I could smell a slight animalistic note and something like anise. The gentle floral quality seems to make up the heart of the perfume.

Presumably, the iris conveys a certain warmth, although I was initially skeptical about the resulting hairspray note.
With other fragrances, I didn't like this. However, here it is well woven in and not too strong; it actually doesn't bother me.

As it develops, Uomo Intense becomes a bit spicy and fruity. Later, a beautifully smoky vanilla note becomes increasingly apparent.

Overall, the first minutes after spraying and the dry down smell unusually good.
Perfumes often have issues with the top notes or base notes, but here I find them extremely successful.

The fragrance starts off dry, slightly woody, and with an alcoholic note; in the background, it reminds me a bit of lipstick. At the same time, the scent is beautifully fresh, but something is missing for me - I feel a certain emptiness.

The perfume conveys a certain depth - possibly coming from its powderiness - with a slightly floral note and becomes a bit sweeter in the drydown. However, there isn't a significant development.

I find Dior Homme Intense somewhat out of date. In terms of rating, I wavered between 7.5 and 8, but I decided on the higher rating due to its certain elegance. In my opinion, the scent is not suitable for everyone - unfortunately, it doesn't suit me.

The opening is beautifully aromatic, fresh, and pleasantly minty. I can also distinctly smell lavender.

The fragrance is somewhat sweet, which works for me at the beginning. The creamy freshness is nice, and as it develops, I thought I could smell vanilla and cinnamon. The scent is well-balanced up to that point.
However, the drydown becomes too sweet for me; it mainly smells like Christmas cookies.

At first, I thought the scent reminded me of Sarab by Al Sadae. The opening was very strong and initially smelled citrusy. As it developed, a creamy (yellow) rose became the main theme. A slight sweetness that fits perfectly for my taste rounded off the composition.

In the drydown, I could smell something plant-like green (possibly the oud?), but there wasn't a significant development.

Mukhalat Malaki is a sunny, feel-good scent that will probably only last a few hours in the summer.
