Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Given its potent sillage and rich, smoky profile, Majalis is generally considered too heavy for a professional office environment. It is better suited for evening events, outdoor gatherings, or formal occasions where a bolder scent profile is appropriate.
How does the coffee note manifest in the scent?+−
The coffee note in Majalis is reminiscent of traditional Arabian coffee—dark and roasted rather than creamy or like a latte. It appears primarily in the base, providing a bitter, sophisticated counterpoint to the honey and dates.
Does this fragrance lean more masculine or feminine?+−
Majalis is designed to be gender-neutral. It balances "feminine" elements like rose, peach, and vanilla with "masculine" hallmarks like leather, oud, and frankincense, resulting in a balanced oriental blend.
How many sprays are recommended for daily use?+−
Because the community identifies this as an exceptionally long-lasting fragrance with strong projection, most users suggest starting with one or two sprays. Over-applying can lead to the spicy and smoky notes becoming dominant.
