In my opinion this is the best of the Gulf Collection! This fragrance takes you on a winding journey of fruits, spices and woods! Its been some time since I’ve experienced a fragrance that moves about the olfactory senses as this masterpiece does! Bottle worthy!!! Beastly performance with sillage of approximately 5feet.

My next try from the Roja Parfums 2017 line of perfumes named for countries in the Middle East, Kingdom of Bahrain definitely feels like a bit of a departure from the other three I’ve tried (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait), each of which are some vary degree of rose/oud/fruit combo. Kingdom of Bahrain, rather, comes of like a spicy/woody combo along the lines of a fougere or chypre rather than something the abovementioned trio of accords play in significantly.
Note-wise, I get mixed citrus, florals (jasmine, in particular), pepper, woods (cypress and birch, specifically), a certain herbiness (I’m thinking that’s the saffron), and something vaguely animalic, perhaps attributable to leather and ambergris. It manages to avoid being sweet (I can’t detect the tonka, really) so it stays pretty serious from its sharper opening to smoother dry down, a typical evolution.
Performance is unsurprisingly strong and the price, at $550 for 50ml via Luckyscent, is unsurprisingly high, a bit too high for my liking, as there are many scents in a similar playing field for a fraction of the cost.

This belongs in the “piney, peppery cologne” genre as seen in Dior Granville and Pengaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet. The lime opening is gorgeous. Normally, I am not drawn to this type of smell, but Bahrain is executed so well that I may have to buy a bottle. But I’m not rushing out the door to do so.

The opening is simply the best lemon/lime citrus presentation I have ever smelled. For the first 15 minutes or so, the green and yellow citruses are just simply jaw-dropping. So real, so smooth, so ethereal.
Then the citrus settles down and cedes to a green/woody/naturally sweet smell. It’s hard to really put my finger on what makes this part of the scent progression so magical. The notes come together in a symphonic nature – Ambergris, pepper, a leathery/oud-ish vibe, and woods are all somehow blended into a sweet, but not sickly-sweet dream. I guess it is the cotton candy note that impresses me, because I would have expected it to ruin the other notes. Instead, it truly enhances and compliments all of the other great things going on. I like sweetness in my fragrances, but I really don’t like sweet-forward scents. The cotton candy note never makes me think gourmand – not at all in fact.
This is an absolutely amazing scent. I must admit I’m a little disappointed with the performance – I sprayed two good sprays on each arm and 2 hours in I’m afraid it is only a skin scent. But oh what a skin scent it is!
Stunning

An invigorating interplay of citrus and freshness from Lemon, Lime, Clary Sage, and bergamot becomes even more uplifting with an introduction Pink Pepper and spicy Saffron, made untamed by a bouquet of Violet Rose, and Jasmine, caressed with the unusual note of candied floss (cotton candy). After an hour the dry down comes front and center with an overture of woods including Cedar, Cypress, Casmir, Pine, Birch, and Aoud Woods, with an underlying base of Vanilla, Ambergris, Leather and Tonka Bean.

You’re hiking in a thick forest in the early morning. You’re with your lady, the ground is damp with the morning dew, and after some time, for some reason, you stumble upon a tiny sweets shop that’s hard at work churning out fresh candies, nestled into a grove surrounded by trees. As you get closer, you notice that it’s also surrounded by haggling merchants that are selling fresh fruits and flowers from their stands, and a couple of the merchants light up some cigarettes and step away to have a smoke.

Extremly fresh and natural take on intensive lime I detect various green aromatic elements that give this blend a nod to the 80s powerhouses but in a much more refined and smoother way I detect zero sweetness from the candy floss accord projection on my skin was decent at 2-3 hour range after that it stayed closer to the skin for a duration of 8-9 total hours overall a great scent for the hot weather definetly easy to wear and a crowd pleaser
