Cognac, cinnamon and praline, warm and lavish
Niche Emarati Zikra is a parfum that FragranceGems calls warm, sweet and lavish. It opens with a single note, cognac, moves to cinnamon, tonka bean and oakmoss, and settles on praline, vanilla and sandalwood. A one-note opening is bold, and a sample shows whether the cognac warms you or feels too sharp.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is cognac alone, which FragranceGems describes as a warm start that sets the tone immediately. With nothing else beside it, the first moments tell you a lot about whether this warmth is for you. It is a short stage, so a second sniff is worth it.
Cinnamon, tonka bean and oakmoss add a spicy and sweet layer that holds the warmth of the opening. Oakmoss brings a damp, woody depth against the sweetness. This is the stage where you decide whether the spice is cosy or too insistent.
Praline, vanilla and sandalwood make the finish round. Praline and vanilla are sweet, while sandalwood keeps a creamy wood line underneath. Come back to it late in the day and note whether sweet or wood has the last word.
Testing it
Use it on a cold evening, once on clean skin, and avoid layering it with other scented products so you can read it properly. Note the first moment, the middle of the evening and the next morning's sleeve. Another try in daytime shows if it still works without the dark.
For people who like rich, sweet and spicy perfumes for evenings and special occasions in autumn and winter, unisex and strong. If you enjoy gourmands but find most of them too light on character, the cognac opening and oakmoss may give you something more grown-up.
A perfume that opens on cognac and ends on praline is a matter of taste, and the strength asks for a considered first try. The cognac-and-praline vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. This decant is not an official brand sample, and Niche Emarati takes no part in the filling.

It is the only note in the top, so it carries the opening alone. FragranceGems calls it a warm start that sets the tone, and it then gives way to cinnamon, tonka bean and oakmoss.
Praline, vanilla and tonka bean point to sweetness, and FragranceGems says warm and sweet. Cinnamon and oakmoss add spice and depth, which keeps it from being simply sugary.
FragranceGems lists autumn and winter and a strong intensity. If you wonder about milder days, a small decant lets you try it without much commitment.
The brand
19 perfumes by Niche Emarati: that is our current list of samples from this house.

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.
