Cherry liqueur, sugarcane and sandalwood
Maison Asrar Faris Al Arab is an Eau de Parfum that starts with oriental notes, cashmere wood, cherry liqueur and vanilla, continues with amber, sugarcane and cedar, and closes on sandalwood, tonka bean, labdanum and musk. FragranceGems tags it strong and for evenings, which makes a trial on your own skin worth more than a first impression elsewhere.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Cherry liqueur sits beside cashmere wood, vanilla and oriental notes in the top. FragranceGems says the cherry liqueur gives the start a boozy, exclusive character. On paper the opening is sweet and dark rather than fresh, so judge whether that sweetness suits you before the amber arrives.
Amber, sugarcane and cedar form the heart. FragranceGems describes the sugarcane as a natural, syrupy sweetness set against dry cedarwood. That pairing is what keeps the centre from being only sweet, and it is the stage where this perfume either convinces you or does not.
Sandalwood, tonka bean, labdanum and musk make the base. FragranceGems calls it a creamy, velvety finish with a strong presence on skin. Labdanum and tonka bean are the warm, resinous notes, and sandalwood the creamy one.
Testing it
Wear it on an evening out, which is how FragranceGems tags it, and apply with restraint, since the same tags call it strong. Check the cherry opening first, then wait for the sugarcane and cedar. A second test in cooler daytime shows whether it still works without the setting of an evening.
For people who like dark, sweet and woody perfumes with a boozy edge and who plan to wear them in autumn and winter. If cherry liqueur sounds appealing but you fear it will turn sticky, the sample answers that on your skin. FragranceGems lists it for men.
A strong, sweet perfume is easy to overdo, and a full bottle is a lot of it. FragranceGems draws the decant from the original bottle and we mark the vial with our label. It is no official brand sample. Maison Asrar is not involved.
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.

Sugarcane and vanilla add sweetness, but cedar and sandalwood bring dry wood to the middle and base. FragranceGems tags it gourmand, oriental and woody, so sweetness is part of a mix.
FragranceGems tags it for evening and special occasions, not for daytime. You can still wear the sample on any day to learn how it behaves, which is what a decant is for.
The seasons listed for it are autumn and winter. A cool evening is the natural first test, since warmth may push the sweet notes forward.
The brand
Maison Asrar takes its name from the Arabic word for secrets: "Every bottle we create holds one", the house writes. It builds on one rule, never compromise on quality, and says every perfume is worn by the makers before it reaches anyone else. Seven Maison Asrar Eau de Parfum are here as samples. Four of them, Legacy, Regent, Vanguard and Majesty, are the ones to test first.

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.
