Reviews of FragranceGems, the shop behind DecantGems
I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
The recorded notes of Ibraheem Al Qurashi Waves are Bergamot, Cedar, Lavender, Spices, Tonka bean, Vanilla and Vetiver. Nothing on record says which of them opens, so we do not claim it. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
Waves carries the family labels aromatic, fresh and woody. Labels like these help you sort a long list, and wearing it does the actual judging. The recorded strength is moderate. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Waves from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
Spring and summer: that is the season on record for Ibraheem Al Qurashi Waves. Weather changes how a perfume carries, so test it in the conditions you plan to wear it in. FragranceGems files it under everyday wear and sport.
The audience on record for Waves: for everyone (unisex). It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. If Ibraheem Al Qurashi is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. To be clear, this is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants it from the original bottle and puts its own label on the vial; Ibraheem Al Qurashi plays no role. When the sample convinces you, the full bottle is part of the FragranceGems range.
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.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Waves from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
FragranceGems lists it for everyone (unisex). In practice a perfume suits whoever enjoys wearing it, and a sample is the simplest way to find out whether that is you.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
Ibraheem Al Qurashi is a perfume house that FragranceGems describes as renowned for refined oriental scents and oud compositions, elegant and rooted in tradition. The samples sold here carry the house's short form IBRAQ and belong largely to its tobacco series: IBRAQ Brazilian Tobacco, IBRAQ French Tobacco and IBRAQ Spanish Tobacco, with IBRAQ White Regent Diamond as the softer outsider. Tobacco is a note that divides people, so a few millilitres first is simply sensible.

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.
