Eau de Parfum

Al-Jazeera Magic Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent built on vanilla, praliné and amber, with patchouli and Turkish rose, and it suits autumn and winter evenings. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out. Longevity and sillage both rate as very strong. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as unisex in practice. The scent is gourmand and floral. Vanilla and praliné bring sweetness and a creamy feel, while amber adds oriental warmth. Patchouli gives a spicy, earthy depth, and Turkish rose carries the floral side. Sea salt and ozone lighten the sweetness a little.

Onyx (Eau de Parfum)

Eau de Parfum

Al-Jazeera Onyx Eau de Parfum is a sweet, woody unisex scent built around sandalwood, Bulgarian rose and oud. The notes read as a single whole rather than in stages: sandalwood and oud lay a woody base, while Bulgarian rose and lily add a soft floral side. Vanilla and walnut pull it towards a creamy, gourmand sweetness, and ambergris keeps the oriental character warm. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, with the large majority of voters scoring both highly. Rich and spicy, it suits men and women alike. Arabian Oud Resala and Creed Vanisia have a close profile.

25th Anniversary

8.4

Al-Jazeera · 2024

Floral · Green · Fruity

Al-Jazeera 25th Anniversary is a floral and green unisex fragrance that opens with bergamot, green tea and iris and settles into sandalwood, patchouli and oud. The top is fresh and fruity, with bergamot, green tea and tropical fruits. Iris, jasmine, violet leaf and rose bring a floral heart. The base of sandalwood, patchouli, ambergris and oud turns sweet, spicy and woody, with animal and leathery touches staying in the background. Though the number of voters is small, longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, so a light hand may be enough. It sits comfortably on both men and women, with an oriental lean. Yas Perfumes Zayed and PantaRei Abbracciami Fortissimo have a close profile.

Sidra Wood

8.6

Al-Jazeera · 2022

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Al-Jazeera Sidra Wood is a unisex scent that opens green and spicy, then settles into a sweet, leathery and woody base. Geranium and saffron come first; rose, leather and cistus form the heart. In the base, vanilla, Akigalawood® and cashmeran carry the scent into a creamy, resinous, lightly smoky warmth. The overall feel sits between sweet and woody, with an oriental lean. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong; the votes are few, but they agree on both. It is a full-bodied scent that works on men and women alike. Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud and Thameen Regent Leather have a close profile.

Malachite

7.8

Al-Jazeera

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Al-Jazeera Malachite is a unisex fragrance that sets the floral weight of jasmine, tuberose and rose against the sweet, woody warmth of cashmeran, sandalwood and vanilla. Its longevity and sillage both rate as strong, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. It reads comfortably on both men and women, with a full, rounded character. The scent as a whole is fresh and floral, with lychee and orange adding brightness while jasmine, tuberose and rose carry the flowers. Patchouli and sandalwood lay a woody base, and vanilla and cashmeran add a sweet, oriental softness. Frédéric Haldimann Frédéric (Eau de Parfum) and M. Micallef Rose Aoud have a close profile.

Sidra

8.6

Al-Jazeera · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Al-Jazeera Sidra is a unisex scent in which citrus freshness is softened by a fruity, floral sweetness, with a creamy, gourmand side. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though the small number of votes means these ratings deserve some caution. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those. The notes read as one whole. Lemon and bergamot give a fresh, citrusy lift, while red fruits and rose sweeten it in a fruity, floral direction. Pink pepper adds a light sharpness, and vanilla, amber and cashmeran carry the scent into a creamy, oriental warmth.

Marrakech

8.5

Al-Jazeera

Sweet · Spicy · Oriental

Al-Jazeera Marrakech is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance built around nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings should be read with caution. The sweet, resinous character suits cooler weather and sits comfortably on both men and women. It opens with nutmeg, apple and cinnamon, giving a spicy sweetness. In the heart, cedarwood, cypriol and Laotian oud add a woody, smoky depth. The base of vanilla, patchouli and amber softens everything and dries down warm and resinous. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan and Scentiments Honey Oud have a close profile.

777

7.9

Al-Jazeera · 2023

Fruity · Sweet · Animal

Al-Jazeera 777 is a unisex scent that sets a fruity, sweet side against an animal, leathery core, and suits anyone who likes warm, heavy fragrances. Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, and all the few voters rate its lasting power high. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and its full, dense build suits those who want a scent that stays noticeable through the day. Montale Leather Patchouli and Lattafa Rouat Al Oud (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile. Saffron and leather come to the front, with iris adding a soft, powdery turn. Patchouli, oud and cedarwood lay a deep woody base underneath. The fruity and sweet accords soften the harder tones, while the leathery, animal side stays at its heart.

Tobacco

8.0

Al-Jazeera · 2021

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Al-Jazeera Tobacco is a unisex fragrance that sets a sweet, gourmand character on a spicy, oriental base. Its longevity is rated as good, and most voters give it a high score on that front. It has no gender lean and sits comfortably on either men or women. With few votes behind it, this impression should be read with some caution. As a whole the scent pairs the sweetness of tobacco, vanilla and plum with the spicy warmth of cinnamon and frankincense. Lemon and clary sage lighten that richness, while fir balsam and cedarwood add a woody firmness.
