I daresay that if you haven't tried Arabic fragrances before, or are not used to them, you might not like this.
I however, cannot get enough of it. To me, this smells like sweet rose and jasmine, mountains of black pepper, sawdust in a cedar logging yard, leather, the corks from red wine bottles and a hint of the smell of a sheep-shed at lambing time. As this fragrance dries down, it gets more peppery, more woody and more dry as the floral top notes dissipate. If anything, it starts feminine and dries down more masculine to a Western nose. It's worth remembering though, that rose is considered manly on the Arabian Peninsula
