Siperono
It hasn’t hit me. It’s not a failure, just not for me. To put it plainly without the jargon: it smells like those starch sprays we use for ironing clothes. If you have a jar of starch at home, sniffing it is the definitive test for this fragrance. I suppose it’s the blend of cedar, musk, and jasmine that gives that freshly ironed sensation. It’s unisex, ideal for spring or summer, with decent longevity and projection. At €15 for 100ml, it’s a bargain, but as the other reviewer said, it’s not for everyone, and in my case, it wasn’t my cup of tea.

Dinar is a very tamed oriental, nothing wild or rough. It’s slightly sweet and heavily spiced. I liked it, and for the price, I have no complaints. It starts effervescent, camphoraceous, leathery, and spicy; it gives a leather sensation but is very astringent and rough due to the spices. I’d seen that in other Arab perfumes before and it didn’t convince me, but it doesn’t last long. Then the woody note emerges with more intensity and sweetness—not sugary, but a pleasant, subtle fruity sweetness. That part is the most enduring, staying almost the same until the very end. Dinar seems potent but isn’t; it’s soft and ethereal, nothing intrusive. I sense it as a fresh take on Kolmaz’s Arabi Cana. They have a similar vibe, but each leads to different characters to create distinct aromas. Dinar is spicier and ethereal, intimate and inoffensive. It lasts about 9 hours with moderate projection: noticeable at first, then dropping to a personal scent. I can smell it well on myself even with a cold, so don’t fixate too much on the projection, but try it yourselves. For the price, you lose nothing. With its transparent soul, it’s perfect for any season and day or night. I really liked that aspect. I just say that, despite what I’ve said, it’s NOT for everyone. You need to like powerful woods, leather, and have an open mind.
