It smells just like Orientica Cuir Premium; it’s super masculine. The quality is top-notch, but I detect no sweetness, no hint of cinnamon or vanilla; it’s pure spice and smoke. I’d gift this to a bloke, but I can’t stand it on my wrist and wouldn’t try it again. I bought it blindly on women’s recommendations, and it’s a disaster for me.

One of Lattafa’s absolute top five. Fragrances like this prove that olfactory art is still alive, exploring the unknown and setting trends. It’s a total treat; if a niche brand released this, I’d pay €100 without blinking, which makes you reflect on the astonishing quality of specific fragrances at this price. Shaari proves you don’t need to fork out a fortune for quality and reminds us there are perfumes worth discovering without taking out a mortgage. The opening is brutal: sweet, sugary vanilla with a smoky touch and a bit of alcohol, yet not heavy like most ouds, but intoxicating. Then, by magic, roses and green jasmine bloom, with a sweet leather simply wonderful. A masterful blend of dark aromas with flashes of light, with enormous longevity and a trail above average. For me, it has something charming in its oriental composition, pleasantly sweet, all built harmoniously and potently. It hooks you from the first spray and is perfect for cold weather. Grandiose.

This perfume is a beast, a beauty from start to finish. Its name in Arabic means ‘poetry’ or ‘poet’. It opens with dominant spicy saffron and oud over a sweet leather and amber base, accompanied by a touch of cinnamon. The sweetness is moderate and well-balanced. In the first phase, I notice a bitter, woody nuance that smells of roots, like ginger or turmeric. The saffron and cinnamon fade, giving way to incense, which leaves its trail over that well-crafted oud. In the heart, it smells of dry seeds like almonds, nuts, or peanuts over a date base. The oud, amber, leather, and incense linger until the end. Longevity is around 7–8 hours on skin and over 12 on clothes. With 5 or 8 sprays (I tend to apply a lot), the performance is very acceptable. Average projection: noticeable at a metre for the first hour, then it settles on the skin for another 6 or 7 hours, lasting even longer on clothes. It shines in humid or cold environments. I recommend it for evening wear, casual or formal gatherings with delicate food and drink, so the fragrance accompanies without overwhelming. It’s an excellent composition, like a song opening the door to an autumnal sunset while a couple shares sahlab on desert sands. It’s joyful and serene about the beauty of being alive under this sun. A poem in a bottle. Excellent quality for the price. Final note: 9/10.
