Perfeptions

Black star her by Al Qurashi is a sweet sugary dark perfume with creamy nuances, almondy ones and cotton candy almost sugary vibe. It’s sweet and lush with some slight skank that makes it soft and rounded. Performance is very good as expected for the profile. Better to sample it as perceptions on these types of scents can be controversial. For more details please watch my YT video review.

Spirit of Valencia by Swiss Arabian is a perfume that does not smell like the note breakdown may suggest. It smells to my nose like a designer masculine perfume probably with coumarin or the like. I will wait for maceration to possibly update my review. In general it’s pretty smooth and pleasant, but definitely not a unisex fragrance. All the line seems to me more masculine leaning.

Teriaq by Lattafa is a new creation by Quentin Bisch and his abilities shine also with this one. While it being sweet, overly so even for some, this perfume is also smoky, starts dark and powdery and evolves magically to a fluffy almondy vanilla with something like a soft powdery base which is very feminine. Starts edgy and ends soft: like a beautiful woman that is mysterious and once you get to know each other and, if she likes you, then can get soft and inviting.

Olympea Parfum is the latest flanker of the Olympea line. Here the resemblance to the original DNA is very limited: the goddess, coming out of the sea water, walked on the beach on a hot day when the air over the sand at the horizon is boiling and the lines get distorted. It's a warm day, the marine breeze brings some bitterness to the air and now that our goddess left the beach behind there are beautiful sand lilies or maybe our goddess already reached the sea front villas with their jasmine bushed exuding their sweet green aroma in the air. If you're interested in a fully detailed review of the perfume, here below my video review.

Micallef O féminin is another extremely refined and sophisticated perfume released by the house, which is renowned for the refinement of their beautiful perfumes. O feminin is a neroli and orange blossom perfume that has a scent profile similar to Sintra by Memo, Love don't be shy by Kilian, Istanbul by Unique'e Luxury, Melodie de Orientica by Orientica, etc. In this case they have focused on elegance and refinement. The perfume starts bright, bitter and uplifting. Then goes through a floral heart to reach fluffy musks that are not sticky sweet.
