I decided to try some arabian oils, looking for a deep sweet spicy scent. This one isn't it...
Balkis starts out very fruity and sweet with only a hint of smokyness. If there was such a thing as mango kool aid incense this would be it.
I do pick up a little more spice after 20 min or so but it's very subtle and the overall tone of the scent doesn't evolve or change beyond that.
As far as oils go, this seems to be made for summertime, wearable in hot weather. Would also be acceptable as a starter oil for the younger set.
Not what I was looking for but pleasant nonetheless.
Update: this smells just like Nag Champa incense, actually.
arrehab was a good parfume...it was so amazing
I bought six bottles. It is INTOXOCATING!
Very rich and classy. It smells expensive, with the quality of the old movie star scents of the 40s. I love the stuff! Harlow would wear this!
There's no woman in our office or among my friends who hasn't liked it or at least said a bad word against this perfume.
Oriental-spicy, rich, but mild. Vigorous, not slack. Of Midnight Poison sort. Some people find it (and quite truly so) rather like Tomorrow by Avon. Though Avon perfume much lighter than Balkis.
Ok, just got a 35 ml of this one too. I tried it on, and while there's definately a vanilla accord it's very faint. Other than that there's lots of flowers (can't really name any, except maybe the faint smell of rose) and a bit of spiciness. I'd smelled this before and finally figured it out - it's a nicer version of Tomorrow by Avon. While Tomorrow is cheap and overly sweet, Balkis manages to get the same feel down much better, aligning the notes in a way that it smells delightful instead of annoying after a few minutes. I'd say if you like spciy florals, then try this one out, you'll probably like it.
Sounds divine this is one i have to have.
dear Maulik, make a click on the link, and send a message via ebay to ms. libby maktari and try to see whether you can visit the shop and try out the fragrances there, as they are london based. we do not sell perfumes and do not have samples. :)
