Reading the reviews and after I saw pictures with the bottle, I said…I want this perfume. From my experience with arabic perfumes, I know that if something is expensive …smells good too.I ordered online, and when I first saw the box ….it was so big and heavy.The bottle is huge, like 20 cm high, beautiful decorated , the package is amazing, I was very impressed.And now about the perfume….seems that everybody here on fragrantica is a specialist in detecting the notes, etc, I am not. For me this perfume smells like a high quality french perfume. Elegant and classy.I sprayed once on my wrist, and I was like…hmmm it doesn ‘ t smell that strong, I should spray again, but I waited like 15 minutes…and then….waves of perfume were coming from my wrist. This is something that goes with an elegant dress, it’ classy, floral , feminine, not for everyday use, in my opinion.Good work Rasasi, I really like this
one, but still, my number one favourite is Jasmine Wisp.I will use this beautiful fragrance on special occasion, the bottle is a work of art.

I was hesitant to order it because I couldn’t buy any sample and it’s only available in one webshop in my country, and i found it too expensive, but i got a great mark on an exam and I decided to buy this as a gift for myself :)) I can’t describe how much I love it!! First i smelled some cow skin , but after half an hour it disappeared. My friends told me when i sprayed myself freshly: you have a stable smell 🙂 After a time I learned to love even this first phase and I don’t mind it at all. Today it was 40 C degree and I’m sad that summer will end soon, but there is one reason why I love colder seasons: IT’s THIS perfume <3

I’ve been after Folklory for about 2 years now, but the steep price made me somehow less willing to experiment. There is not that many reviews on this one out there.
Well, i finally got it yesterday, and honestly my mind is blown.Once again, an Arabian perfume brings me to my knees and humbles me to the point where i want to sell every fragrance i own and invest that money into Arabian perfumes and attars.
From the moment i saw the box, to the moment i opened it, i was cackling like a happiest witch that ever lived! The entire presentation is an experience. Even the top of the box says “Adorned for the Celebration”, and they certainly didn’t lie!
The top of the box opens to reveal a blossom like bottom part, which cradles the prettiest perfume bottle i ever held in my hands.Bottle is adorned with rhinestones, and very heavy.
When i sprayed it on my forearm, honestly i was taken aback for a bit. Instantly i could smell something beautiful, but right there on top, there was oud, stinky as a barn, but so expensive smelling, so powerful and so rich at the same time. I told my husband that this perfume will never be understood by America, and that i didn’t care 🙂
I let it sit there and develop, and within 30 minutes, my stinky Folklory broke through, as a most beautiful perfume i own in my entire collection. I can’t quite describe it, it’s an oud fragrance made for a woman, not unisex, not masculine, just womanly, pretty, flowery and beautiful.
It’s 24 hours since i sprayed Folklory on my forearm. I took two showers today, and i can still smell it on me.
As a side note, Folklory is quite oily, it does leave a residue, so i would definitely not spray this over clothing, nor i would do more than one spray. This is a true gem, no other word to describe it. I am lucky to have it!

I reviewed it back in 2014 and here I am again writing a review in 2017. Just one word “unbeatable”. The longevity, silage, blend of woody notes with rose and peaches is just to die for.

This is a stunningly beautiful fragrance, blind buy worthy if your penchant is for (woody?) orientals; I wouldn’t describe this as a floral woody musk. This is also the most expensive Arabic fragrance I own.
I am testing this in the cool damp of an English January and suspect it would bloom and be even more gorgeous in the heat. However, at the moment the principle notes are amber, oud, patchouli, fruit and vanilla (in that order) with florals bringing up the rear. The oud is not medicinal or in your face, but creamy and woody – just delightful. I don’t find this perfume particularly sweet.
The fragrance is only available as 30ml EDP and the bottle is huge, belying the volume of its content, but simply gorgeous and begging to be on display. My 22 year old daughter was immediately smitten, describing it as something a mermaid would have – and she is right.
I bought from Arab Fragrance Shop on UK eBay for £39 (free p&p), who included a perfumed card with the (again huge and beautiful) cellophane covered box, so that I could smell the perfume. They emailed me, confirming they would accept a return of the perfume providing I hadn’t opened the packaging. This is the best value I could find anywhere.

Woody, smoky, vanilla. A little sweet. Not too strong. Very nice fragrance. 🙂

This review is for the 100ml spray EDP. The bottle is whimsical and reminds me of the center of a carousel.
I love this scent–it’s one of the only perfumes I have found that seamlessly melds both sweet and smoky without smelling like candies on fire. It’s also musky, which adds sophistication and maturity.
Folklory Pink smells like a peach baked in the oven marinating in vanilla syrup with a little bit of a rosy musk and toasted edge to it. Delectable.

I get peach yoghurt, amber and a leathery smoky – oud note. Pretty great.

Ahhhhh! This was love at first sniff. A cousin of mine was visiting us here from Dubai and she forgot her scarf on our couch. The entire room smelled heavenly amazing. I just fell in love with this perfume right on the spot. I own one bottle now. It is wayyyy too expensive though just like Thierry Mugler stuff. The worst part is that you cannot buy it anywhere in North America. Some British websites sell it. This perfume only comes in 30 ml bottle which is sold online on British websites for around 50 pounds . Even in Dubai, it is considered a very expensive and up there type of product. The bottle is so gorgeous and the packaging is high maintenance (no wonder where all the cost was going). I use it on special occasions cuz it is very strong, long lasting, sexy, beautiful, and high maintenance fragrance. Expect strong sillage and 8-10 hrs longevity .
Packaging = 8/10
Bottle= 10/10
Sillage= 10/10
Longevity= 10/10
Price= 3/10 (I have to give poor grades for pricing. It is very expensive though)
