Sekomusti

This fragrance is a true magnet & seducer. I fell in love immediately.

Rose is definitely the main actor. In my opinion, also not an offensive rose note.
A floral oriental with sweet nuances.

Immediately after spraying it on, you are showered with fresh rose petals.
A short time later, light sweet accords emerge.
But when the drydown kicks in, that's when the magic happens.

Wear this in the evening and you'll go from hunter to hunted.

In short, I'm not a perfume expert and can't name them all. On my account, I only rate fragrances that I own and have therefore been able to test over a longer period of time.

Absolutely!!! For 20€ you get a grapefruit monster freshie here. It's very sociable. Nothing that gets on your nerves.
As the others have already written, the slightly more western "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes"

Do you need "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes" and the "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" ? No, but at this price, you can easily stow them in your car or gym bag & you're always on the safe side.

And yes, you can smell some synthetics, but at €20 and 30 degrees outside temperature, you can look past that ;)

PS: I smell parallels to "Perseus | Parfums de Marly"

I smell parallels to "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca". Whereby the grapefruit is stronger and more present in the Rue Broca. For grapefruit fans, go for it.

The question I ask myself is it worth the money? For collectors yes & for those who want a slightly deeper and natural note.
For those who don't mind a *slightly* more synthetic note, the Rue Broce will suffice & for a fraction of the money.
When it's 30 degrees outside, nobody cares if you smell a little more synthetic ;)

Is this a new bestseller from PDM? Nope, the Perseus doesn't really have a unique selling point.

I wonder if Maison Alhambra helped come up with the name ;)?

At first I perceived a mild, overpowering coconut & actually wanted to give it away again. BUT give the perfume some time to mature!

The "Liam / ليام | Lattafa / لطافة" delivers what it promises. It brings a beautiful oriental teen note with it.
The black tea note paired with cardamom & some fig in the background is an absolute must have if you don't know what to wear.

Is it compliments hunter like a "XJ 1861 Naxos | XerJoff" ?
No, but a damn all-rounder & a safe base!
It is also suitable for many occasions: work, gym, leisure, etc.

Also a good base for layering, current personal layering recommendation:
1) "Imagination | Louis Vuitton"
2) "Dior Homme Intense (2011) | Dior"

P/L for the price of 23€ a real no brainer ;)

Is Flavia a new offshoot of Maison Alhambra?
No.

Have now been able to test 2 fragrances from Flavia & feels like "much wanted, but not skillfully"..

The fragrance itself is beautiful, even more beautiful than the Ombre by Maison Alhambra.
But it feels as if the durability and sillage are over after 1 hour.

Feels like a 2ml sample of "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton" stretched to 100ml.
