Cardamom, saffron and resins in a long pyramid
Arabiyat Prestige Ramad Oriental has a long recorded pyramid: Cardamom, Elemi, Pepper, Lemon and Bergamot on top, Saffron, Cumin, Patchouli, Geranium and Jasmine in the heart, and Opoponax, Olibanum, Benzoin, Vanilla and Amber in the base. Spiced resins like these are demanding, and a 10 ml decant is the sensible way to learn how they sit on you.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top opens with Cardamom, Elemi, Pepper, Lemon and Bergamot. FragranceGems describes it as an energetic yet resinous start that sets the tone at once: cardamom and pepper bring spice, elemi a fresh resin, lemon and bergamot a bright edge. Notice how much of that brightness survives on your skin.
The heart brings Saffron and Cumin for spice, Patchouli for earth, and Geranium and Jasmine for flowers. The FragranceGems description says this gives the perfume an exotic, robust backbone. Cumin is a strong spice, so this is the stage to watch closely.
The base is Opoponax, Olibanum, Benzoin, Vanilla and Amber. The FragranceGems description calls the ending warm and balsamic. Whether you feel the resins or the vanilla first is exactly what the sample shows, and it may differ from one day to the next.
Testing it
Try it in the evening or on a cool day, when a spiced, resinous perfume is easiest to appreciate. Apply a small amount to the wrists, as spices and resins are heavy, and give it time to move from the opening to the base. Wear it on two or three days, since skin and temperature change how the spices come across.
Ramad Oriental is for people who like spiced, resinous Oriental perfumes and want a warm, substantial scent for evenings and special occasions. FragranceGems tags it as strong, for autumn, winter and spring. If you prefer light, fresh scents, the sample shows quickly whether this one is too much.
With saffron, cumin, olibanum and opoponax together, the result is hard to predict from a list. The decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you find out on your own skin. Nothing here comes from the house itself, and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

FragranceGems tags it as strong, and the pyramid is full of spices and resins, so it is not a light perfume. A small amount from the 10 ml vial is a good place to begin.
Cardamom and pepper, listed at the start of the top. They tell you straight away whether the spiced character suits you, before saffron and the resins arrive.
Yes. A 10 ml glass spray vial is small and easy to carry, so you can test the perfume on different days and in different settings without taking the bottle along.
The brand
Arabiyat Prestige is one of the brands of My Perfumes, a perfume manufacturer in Dubai that also makes Arabiyat and Arabiyat Sugar. The group describes its work as Oriental, French and Arabian perfumery, and Arabiyat Prestige is where the Eau de Parfum sit. Sixteen of them are here as samples, including the pair Marwa and Marwa Extrait, which makes this a good house for testing how concentration changes a scent.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
