Spiced resins like these are demanding, and a 10 ml decant is the sensible way to learn how they sit on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Cardamom, Elemi, Pepper, Lemon, Bergamot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Saffron, Cumin, Patchouli, Geranium, Jasmine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Opoponax, Olibanum, Benzoin, Vanilla, Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCardamom, elemi and pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSaffron, cumin and flowers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResins first, sweetness second\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRamad 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Arabiyat Prestige Ramad Oriental as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Ramad Oriental heavy?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems tags it as strong, and the pyramid is full of spices and resins, so it is not a light perfume.
