Decided to pull this fave out for a coolish day in Amsterdam. As the vacation winds down This one seemed like an easy reach for me. I know the mineralic notes aren't for everyone and I did get a backup bottle of this as I believe it's discontinued now which is a shame. However, I know I probably got a decent lifetime supply of this one 🤞🏼

I just got Arabiyat Prestige Marwa in and today is my first time wearing it, so this is a true first impression. Right off the spray, it comes across smooth, slightly sweet, and a little fresh at the same time. There’s something about it that feels clean but still has a soft warmth underneath. As it settles, it gets a bit creamier and more blended, which makes it easy to wear. Nothing too sharp or overpowering—just a nice, pleasant scent that feels well put together. It honestly gives off a classy, everyday vibe. Not overly loud, but definitely noticeable if someone is close to you. I can see this being a good grab for work or casual outings. Ratings (first wear): Scent: 8/10 – Very likable and smooth, easy to wear Sillage: 7/10 – Moderate, not a room-filler but leaves a nice scent trail Longevity: 7.5/10 – Got a solid few hours so far, still picking it up on skin Overall, I’m impressed for a first wear. It’s the kind of fragrance that doesn’t try too hard but still smells really good. Looking forward to seeing how it performs over a few more wears.

First off shower gel and shampoo and conditioners at every hotel I've stayed at in Europe smell 10 times better than anything in North America. Seem like the scents also are higher quality and less bluey than North America. So I guess it's a matter of taste to a certain extent.
