In the past year I found my love for some oriental fragrances and so just in time for Christmas I got a small review about another oriental perfume.
This time, I'm talking about a very small beauty - the Al Haramain Million perfume.
Let's see how I liked it and why.
Al Haramain Million Perfume
Perfume oil Million by Al Haramain is a lightweight, wonderfully refreshing Gourmand fragrance with a touch of white musk, ideal for men and women alike. Jasmine and sensual ylang ylang represent the middle note, which is followed by a base of vanilla, cedar, sandalwood, white musk and amber.A wonderfully balanced aroma that combines the typical scents of the perfumes from the Orient with the traditional perfumes of the West.
It's a special blend of scents that brings out the sensual.
THE PACKAGING
The perfume oil comes packed in a cigarette-like box. It is quite unusual as it's not something I see in Western perfumes.
The perfume is stored in a very tiny glass bottle that reminds me of the places far beyond from where it came.
It contains 15 ml of product which is dispensed with a roll-on ball.
THE SCENT
The scent starts as a gentle warm breeze that can be layered until we get the strength we like. I usually apply the oil as a thin layer because I don't like smelling my perfumes after a certain time.
It has a warm scent and I mostly smell vanilla and bergamot. After a couple of minutes, I can smell the jasmine with a tad of amber.
TOP NOTE
Bergamot, Plum, Mango
MIDDLE NOTE
Jasmine, Ylang Ylang
BASE NOTE
Vanilla, Cedar, Sandalwood, White Musk, Amber
PROS:
+ cute small glass bottle
+ inexpensive (less than 13€)
+ the scent lasts quite a long time (I can smell it after a couple of hours)
+ it is a unisex scent, so can be used by both
+ has a nice blend that would suit oriental perfume lovers and those that are new to them
+ roll-on dispenser is handy
CONS:
- the packaging is a bit bland
OVERALL:
I think this was a lovely find. It's small and inexpensive enough to be a stock stuffing (for the advent days before Christmas). I like how it comes in a tiny bottle with a roll-on dispenser as it's pretty handy.
The scent it warm and strong, but can get even stronger if it's layered. I enjoy the notes of Jasmine and Vanilla as it feels great in these cold months.
Overall I think it's a great little find from Notino.
