Mahjoun DSH Perfumes for women

I did not expect to like this scent. When I smelled it on paper, I said, "wow, this is a cake." Dawn confirmed that in fact it was inspired by some dessert. I tried it on my skin in a spirit of experiment, and was captivated. It wasn't smelling like cake on my skin, instead I felt around me a cloud of spices in a sweet aura. I got a sample of it and wore it next day for a night on the town, and I felt irresistible. A little bit goes a long way, but I will be looking for a bottle after finishing my sample.

My first impression is of a “granola” perfume - one that is all-natural, contains a high percentage of absolutes and has an insipid “brown sticky” aura to it, sort of like a used tea bag or dying flower petals. Given the list of notes here and elsewhere, this should smell better and stronger than it does. How can you go wrong with powerful natural scents like lavender, rose, spices and sandalwood? I can only think that the amount of these materials used must have been vanishingly small, so what is left is mostly bland fruit tinctures and hazlenut absolute. The scent is nice, but too delicate for my taste.
