Loading... Please wait...Take a walk through the bazaar of Marrakech and you will get an idea of what Mahjoun is all about. Haggle with the spice dealer for his best cardamom. Linger over a Turkish Delight as the almond confection suffuses your senses. Hand a rose to your companion and settle down at the café to drizzle rich honey over the dried figs and dates, while all around you frankincense and myrrh swirl seductively. Dripping with sensuous honey, Mahjoun is one of the best (and few) honey fragrances we have encountered. This is not a sweet confection for kids with sore throats; it is a true gourmand for grownups. Get on board the Marrakech Express for an unusual experience that adds an incense twist to traditional Turkish delight.

Bitter Almond, Cardamom Seed, Cherry Blossom, Lavender Flower, Lemon, Sweet Orange, Bulgarian Rose Absolute, Fig, Hazelnut, Honey, Nutmeg, Orange Blossom, Sugar Date, Amber, Atlas Cedarwood, Cinnamon Bark, Clove Bud, Frankincense, Sandalwood and True Arabian Myrrh

I have never smelled anything like this!
Have you ever been to a sit-down Indian restaurant? To me, this smells exactly like the sweet mix of fennel seeds and jaggery that they have in a bowl for a post-meal mouth refresher. Sweet, licorice-y, honey-sweet and spicy.
It's quite strong and unusual and makes me feel as if I am between the spice and incense aisles of an Indian grocery store. Lasts for hours, too.
The only thing I would say is that I wouldn't really know when to wear it - it's a truly beautiful scent, but I couldn't see myself wearing this very often. Definitely worth a sniff though. I don't regret sampling.

Another delight to savor! this one is warm,exotic,beautiful.If I had to compare this to another scent,I would say Liz Zorns pink praline is similar,but this one is unique,on its own!) My favorite,from the sample pack! each scent,from this line is REALLY different,which is really interesting!

I think this is on par with ginestet botrytis, frapin 1270 and is a high quality perfume , without the steep price.
