Sparkling summer fragrance with plenty of pepper
I don't understand why the fragrance is being put down here like this.
Yes, it is synthetic - for me, a tangy, tart raspberry and the spiciness of the pepper and nutmeg are clearly in the foreground. However, I don't smell coffee and coconut at all. Really zero point zero.
In my opinion, you don't get a sweet fruit cocktail a la canned fruit here, but a really fruity, tart summer fragrance with a spicy twist.
100% unisex. Longevity is incredibly long, with 4 sprays I could still smell it after 5 hours. (I get scent-blind quickly, so that's saying something)

Beautiful incense
I went to my trusted perfumery today and was able to smell the whole series of this launch.
but 'Mabda' stands out as a particular gem:
The launch is said to be inspired by the scents of Africa.
And I have to say, I recognize a clear difference to Arabic perfumes. I'm not a fan of the rose, pepper and incense notes in the latter - but with Mabda... wow wow wow.
Completely different, much more velvety, softer.
The incense and spices are not as pungent as when you stand next to an incense stick or at a bazaar. Rather, the smells are muffled like after a rain shower. It's not creamy or powdery, but really... dull.
(maybe the statement is confusing, but if I had to associate a color with the fragrance, it would be moss green)
The composition is amazing, all the fragrance notes flow into each other, it's really hard to pick out anything specific.
I think I can particularly recognize ylang-ylang, incense and musk. But nothing of the raspberry. In addition, no top, heart or base notes emerge for me. The fragrance lasts exactly as I sprayed it on. And for a long time. 5h with one (!) small spray (because tested in the store) the sillage was also bombastic for the small amount.
The fragrance is really unisex, I wouldn't even say that it smells "rather masculine" or "rather feminine".
I don't find it suitable for hot summer days.

My favorite date companion
The fragrance caught my eye because of the beautiful bright red bottle. I sprayed it on the test strip without any great expectations - what I smelled was the most beautiful blend of deep sweetness and heady spice. I fell in love immediately. It smells thick, soft and warm.
From that moment on, my interest in perfumes was born: I wanted to know why and how a perfume can smell so incredibly good.
Rouge ultime is still my favorite fragrance, but I think the entire l'interdit range is a masterpiece. Sooner or later they will all be in my collection :D

Sophisticated but young
The sophisticated fragrance par excellence for me is still dior homme intense. But it always makes me think of a man in a suit in his mid-40s.
The gisada ambassador smells a little sweeter, a little fruitier and younger. In the drydown, however, the woods and spice come in, giving the fragrance that more noble touch.
With three sprays, the sillage is above average and the fragrance lasts! Even after 10 hours, you can still smell it on your skin.
The bottle has a magnetic closure, a little nice to have.

I would love to like him so much..
A little fruity, a little bitter lemon/blood orange and cedar in the base. Actually everything I love!
But somehow not here. The fruits evaporate after 5 seconds. The bitter blood orange/lemon smells quite pleasant at first - really green and fresh. But in the drydown I smell something artificial and powdery that I don't like at all.
The longevity is good though, silliage neither strong nor weak.
I find the bottle super kitschy, but that would have been secondary to the purchase.
The fragrance really had a lot of potential when I read it, but it doesn't convince me at all in reality.
