Makkah
Al Haramain

A lovely, fruity woody fragrance which is sweet and a little dense, in the oriental style. The fruit is really nice though. It's hard to pick out everything but strawberry is definitely a player, along with dark, smoky oud in the background. I also get the amber and vanilla, and something like a candied orange smell too (like a marmalade orange). I usually don't like my fruit notes too loud in fragrances, but this fruit-oud combination is not bad.

Haramain Makkah is a mystic fruity-resinous oriental musk ending down magically velvety and dreamy. Musk is the main element imo and the further notable elements (resins and fruits) are almost accessorial (and anyway connected with the main element in a really luxurious combination). There is an undeniable resinous musky-vanillic basic accord surprisingly "gummy" and soapy (rich of kinda liquorous and fruity nuances). The fruitiness is dominant (orange blossoms and red berries are luxuriously combined in order to enrich the resinous wake). Red berries in particular provide a really candied undertone. Woodsy resins and amber provide an impenetrable musky accord enriched by fruits and indiscernible floral nuances. An incredibly performing resinous oriental at a ridiculously low price. Great.
