I started with Adil Qadri (The story, Lavish Musk)

The story has a good french vanilla note but it is more of a winter fragrance so i am not using it as of now.

Lavish musk is so underrated its opening is trash i agree, some say the opening smells like agarbatti but the dry down is so wonderful it smells something completely different after the dry down.

I recently bought the khadlaj island dreams after the hype on Instagram and i am very happy with the scent profile. It has a strong citrus opening and is very fresh how the performance is not doing me justice.

Even after 10 generous sprays it is not projecting enough. I haven’t gotten even 1 compliment yet. It turns into skin scent and you would only be able to sense its smell if you are really close to the person.

I got Marwa & Vulcan fue decant from the same seller (scented_by_faheel)

Marwa in my opinion has a very spicy opening but is a very good summer fragnance however i would choose dreams over marwa if dream projected better.

Then we have Vulcan Feu which is a mango based perfume. People have recommended me to wear it in the summer but i felt it is more suitable in the winter as summers here are very hot (40°c) so mixed with sweat it did not make sense to me.

The seller threw in a freebie as well (Mahd Al Dahb) from Arabiyat prestige. It is one of the best perfumes he has sent. It is very soothing powdery, date night kinda scent loved it but keeping it for the winters.

My first Middle eastern fragrance (Khadlaj Island Dreams)

Hi, i recently got myself this perfume after watching tons of reels and reviews and i have a mixed opinion on it.

Smell wise i love the fragrance however it has a very strong citrusy opening like you can really smell the lemon note. It is a very fresh citrusy fragrance however my biggest complaint is the performance.

It is NOT AT ALL projecting and the lasting is also very average. It turns into skin scent after a few hours. You would only able to smell it if you get really close to the person. I have a friend who is into perfumes and he recommended me to let it macerate but i do not have the patience for it. Especially when i bought it now, in the summer to wear it.

Is there any way to increase its projection other than waiting for it to macerate?

*This is also my first reddit post*
