Hayat Perfume for Men & Women by Al Aneeq - Unisex Eau de Parfum (100ml)

Excellent scent and exactly as described.It came in a high quality and large bottle and was very good value for money.I would high recommend the Alneeq perfumes and will buy again in the future.

This scent is probably more suited for males than females. I like it, but it definitely gives off a more male vibe on me 😂

Unique fresh fragranceAbsolutely love it

I can’t quite make up my mind about this perfume, or at least about the actual scent of it. I don’t have a particularly refined vocabulary for describing scents, but this was woody and complex and didn’t really smell like anything I was already familiar with. It’s an interesting smell with all sorts of notes to it that I was intrigued by, but just couldn’t get to grips with on myself. It’s quite heady and as this is an eau de parfum, the scent really lingers and it was just a bit overwhelming for me. My partner is currently sampling it and I have a feeling it will work better on him. I was interested to see that the brand is “Al Aneeq” because the only thing I could possibly begin to compare this too is the incense-like fragrances I’ve come across when I was spending a lot of time in Morocco, where the men love their scents and every trip to the hammam is a chance to bathe yourself in perfumes, lotions and potions. The packaging is really high end, with a smart presentation box and a heavy green glass bottle, and the price (currently £34.95 for 100ml) seems good value for a scent of this quality - if you like it. It’s not for the faint hearted as it is quite strong, but it doesn’t smell cheap as so many strong fragrances do. I’d say better for men than women on the whole, and probably not suited to anyone who likes simple, “clean” scents as this is quite complex and perhaps not the easiest to pull off, but probably quite intoxicating on the right person.

Such a beautiful scent from this. Not over powering at all.

First off the presentation box is wonderful and gives the product a feel of real quality.The scent itself is a unisex one. On the initial spray I thought it smelt incredibly sharp - almost acetone but that fades very, very quickly to reveal a nice aroma. I'm not sure what it reminds me of but it's like nothing else I have had before. I think to start with it has a very citrus scent which is quite fresh - but after a while this mellows to a smoother more woody/musky kind of aroma.I'll have to say at first I wasn't sure about it but now after using it for a few days I really, really like it. It's definitely something a little different. The better half has tried it and it smells completely different on her to how I perceive it on myself, still very nice but it seemed sweeter, she alas wasn't as keen on it on herself as it's not quite what she goes for - she has some set scents that she loves so breaking into that group is always a tough ask.I'd say give it a go - it's unusual and may take a few days for you to appreciate it as it did with me. The scent lasts quite a while too, after putting some on around midday I could still smell it on myself every so often in the evening. I do like this it stands apart from usual scents, it really has it's own character.

This scent is very well presented in a cellophane-wrapped presentation case and comes in an attractive dark green-coloured bottle with a high quality atomizer and cap. It's certainly 'gift worthy.'As scents go, this is for me quite an unusual one. It's marketed as being unisex but in my humble opinion is perhaps more feminine in character. Upon first acquaintance, it's really quite green and fresh, but the ivy and synthetic musk make an early appearance, with the latter only becoming stronger as the perfume dries down. Then the distinct scent of rose takes over and this becomes the main characteristic of this fragrance.Initial projection is quite muted but its sillage, somewhat unusual for a cheaper fragrance, is really quite pronounced, with the persistent scent of rose water following you around. It's definitely more of a warm weather or evening scent and, I think, a bit of an acquired taste. I have to say that it's not to mine, but that's purely subjective and your own skin's chemical composition may result in a scent that is entirely different in character.However, if you like rose water and are looking for something with a lot more longevity, I'd recommend this.

It comes in a nice packaging but I've had many experiences with arabic perfume and this was very familiar. The smell isn't bad by any means but it just feels overpowering and suffocating. Maybe I'm just a fan of more sweet and fruit fragrances so this didn't hit the mark for me as it felt more musky.
