"A lovely fragrance which took me back to living in the Middle East and visiting the souqs there. Unfortunately, the fragrance did not last long on me. Love the smell but would not buy it again unless it came in a stronger formula."
"I'm agreeing with the other reviewers that it's similar to Youth Dew and Opium. My nose catches Cinnabar, though, instead of the sweetness of Tabu. This may be the best so far of all I've ordered and it layers very well with Haunted souls."
"Great! Smells like rich incense and spices."
"I'm big on spicey perfume. This is the first on my list to get a bigger size."
"It’s a good all day fragrance. A fragrance I can wear often."
"The idea of smelling like a Moroccan spice shop intrigued me. I wondered if the perfume would actually smell like what I experienced in Marrakesh. Unfortunately, it smells like strong floral air freshener; definitely not a fragrance I want. For me, it's awful by itself but smells great mixed with Demeter's vetiver (not Demeter's vetiver naturals)."
"I've never been to a Moroccan spice market, but now I apparently smell like one, and I like it. The scent doesn't hit you in the face, but wafts from the skin in intriguing mixtures. Sometimes it smells like a sort of spice cupboard, other times it reminds me of a warm day outside. The scent would be great on a man or woman. I will be wearing Morocco for the time to come."
"This fragrance is very similar to Ester Launder’s classic Youth Dew. I like both of them. Close to Tabu, as another reviewer said, but I think it is almost a match to Youth Dew."
"Not sure that it is a spice market, but I would go for New Age store. Very powerful fragrance. I like it."
"This scent is very distinct and I pair it with Fiery Curry to play a larp character of mine. This scent makes him come to life and has long life, often lasting me all day. It's such a good smell, and very strong, but people around me like it and it lends itself well to a very gender neutral cologne feel."
