Among the Arabic perfume samples, 7 have coffee in their recorded note list. We picked 7 to show here and describe them strictly by their recorded data. The order is not a ranking; it is a way to choose where to begin.

The selection

Gissah Beyond Me

From Gissah comes Gissah Beyond Me, a Parfum. On paper it lists Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Saffron, Caramel, Coffee, Coconut Milk and others. Its family tags read gourmand, oriental and woody. It is listed for autumn and winter. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

Aroma Concepts Jawhari

From Aroma Concepts comes Aroma Concepts Jawhari, a Parfum. On paper it lists Bergamot, Citrus Fruits, Coffee, Honey, Caramel, Tonka Bean and Vanilla. It is tagged citrus, gourmand and oriental. Season on record: autumn and winter. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

Rayhaan Pharaoh

From Rayhaan comes Rayhaan Pharaoh, an Eau de Parfum. On paper it lists Alcoholic Notes, Saffron, Cardamom, Cade Oil, Coffee, Benzoin and others. The scent families on record: gourmand, oriental and woody. It is listed for autumn and winter. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

Rayhaan Kiss

Rayhaan Kiss, an Eau de Parfum from Rayhaan, has Hazelnut, Coconut, Almond, Coffee, Jasmine, White Flowers and others on record. By family it is filed as floral, gourmand and woody. Season on record: autumn, spring and winter. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

For season the tags say autumn and winter. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.

Ibraheem Al Qurashi Tobacco

Ibraheem Al Qurashi Tobacco, an Extrait de Parfum from Ibraheem Al Qurashi, has Arabian Tobacco, Iris, Saffron, Salted Caramel, Rose, Tonka and others on record. It is tagged amber, gourmand and oriental. For season the tags say autumn and winter. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

How to test them

Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.

Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Two or three samples at a time is plenty; more than that and the impressions blur. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing.

Questions

How many samples should I try at once?

Two or three is a good number. Wear one per day, on clean skin, and write down what you notice in the morning and in the evening before you move to the next.

Why do some perfumes show no notes?

Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.

What is a decant?

Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
