  It’s a great amber with balsamic and oriental touches of frankincense, myrrh, and benzoin. The rose adds a floral, powdery note. The opening is citrusy with a magnificent tangerine. Very similar to Khol from Bahrain by SHL or Velvet Amber Skin by Dolce & Gabbana. It has a citrus opening and is less powdery as it lacks iris, but overall they are very alike. Good performance, excellent longevity, moderate and soft projection. Totally unisex and versatile. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 9, Projection: 6, Value for money: 5, Versatility: 7, Originality: 8, Overall: 8.5

  A potent amber fragrance with balsamic and oriental notes of incense, myrrh, and benzoin; the rose adds a floral, powdery touch. The opening is citrusy thanks to a delicious mandarin. It bears a strong resemblance to SHL’s Khol from Bahrain or Dolce & Gabbana’s Velvet Amber Skin, though it is less powdery as it lacks iris, yet in general they are very similar. Performance is good, with excellent longevity and moderate, almost soft projection. Totally unisex and quite versatile. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 9, Projection: 6, Value for money: 5, Versatility: 7, Originality: 8, Overall: 8.5

  First time with Sheiduna and the aldehydes hit hard: a bitterness and a ‘rough’ texture you don’t expect. The opening is bitter mandarin (neither sweet nor citrusy) with incense and rose, creating an effervescent effect reminiscent of Tauer’s Incense Rose or Zarokian’s Mon Nom est Rouge, but here the resins are more muted and the mandarin takes the lead. As it dries, it becomes sweet and creamy; the vanilla joins the benzoin while the rose adds a powdery touch. The blackcurrants are noticeable, sometimes giving it a fruity air. Performance is decent; it’s not a bomb but has just enough potency to keep you smelling it. Longevity is good, staying prominent for about six hours before settling to skin scent. It’s unisex but leans slightly feminine, though I felt comfortable wearing it, unlike others that felt odd on me. It’s curious, original for those unfamiliar with these references, and of high quality, although not the most natural; I suppose Zarokian made it this way as he uses many aroma chemicals. It doesn’t win you over at first spray, but I think it grows on you with repeated wear.

  Here are my first impressions of Sheiduna. At first, I notice the aldehydes giving it a slightly bitter edge and a somewhat ‘rough’ texture. In the opening, the tangerine is felt (not sweet or citrusy, but rather bitter) mixed with frankincense and rose. It’s an effervescent sensation similar to Incense Rose by Tauer or Mon Nom est Rouge by Zarokian, but here the resins are more subdued and the tangerine dominates. As it dries down, it becomes sweeter and creamier; vanilla appears alongside benzoin and blends with the rose, adding a powdery touch. The currants are also noticeable, giving it a fruitier aura. Performance is good; I keep smelling it, though it’s not a bomb, it has just the right potency. Longevity is good, around six hours before it becomes skin-scented. Although unisex, it leans slightly feminine, perhaps just at the edge, but I’ve been comfortable wearing it. It’s a curious, original fragrance for those unfamiliar with the references, of high quality, though not the most natural; I think Zarokian did this deliberately as he uses many aroma-chemicals. It doesn’t win you over at first glance, but I believe with repeated wear, it grows on you more and more.
