The one I didn't even know I needed yet.
Floral or fruity fragrances are not really my thing. I prefer gourmand-sweet, like runny pastries and desserts. That's my thing. Heavy, sweet, room-filling.
Floral is usually too subtle and volatile for me, fruity often doesn't seem "natural" enough to me, it usually feels like a laboratory concoction. Most of the time it simply has no tension, no rough edges. I'll keep it short at this point: Madawi is different.
I also find the fragrance really difficult to describe clearly. It's either because I'm still completely blown away or because the fragrance notes are simply so skillfully coordinated that they flow into each other without a seam or a hitch. I suspect it's probably a mixture of both.
Madawi really gets down to business in the opening. I immediately notice both peach and apple blossom. For floral and fruity, Madawi is also quite loud. It already projects well here, but remains pleasant. The wild rose joins in quite quickly after about 30 minutes and here I actually feel like I'm sticking my nose directly into a deep pink wild rose blossom on a warm day. I love this fragrance. Beguiling and captivating. Feminine and soft. The note stays with me throughout the entire fragrance.
Patchouli gradually adds a little pinch of tension, this light spiciness to the delicately fruity florals. However, this does not make the fragrance overly spicy, it just gives it more depth.
Musk makes the fragrance fluffy, soft and clean.
Truthfully, however, I must also admit: I have no idea what pineapple blossom smells like...
Madawi is my big exception among the fruity and floral fragrances. It has a certain mystique to it, is incredibly luxuriously clean, floral-fresh and yet slightly sweet and at no point artificial, cheap or chemical, which I often don't like. Over time and on warm skin, it becomes really creamy. Somehow I also thought it might be too heavy for warm days. This is not the case! But since it really packs a punch, you have to dose accordingly.
Arabian Oud-like are H&S 11/10, an absolute beast. One spray is enough and it permeates the sweater and fills the room. So THAT'S my thing! And with a fragrance like this? Unexpected.
The bottle is a hit, the packaging is classy, I think Arabian fragrances will always be my personal highlight.
I think I'm going to get weak here again....
