I confirm this one is unisex, primarily designed for women.
As per L’erbolario italian website:
“… the fragrance that every woman likes. And that can also please the man.”

If Musk Ravageur and L’air Du Desert Maroccain met somewhere in the desert, had a passionate affair and produced a love child – Meharees would be it.
If you ‘love’ Musc Ravageur you should save your pennies until you can buy a bottle. There is nothing like it and if you love it you should settle for nothing ‘less’.
However, if you ‘like’ MR, already own it or you simply are in the market for a lush new oriental spicy – get you one of these stat. It. Is. GOOD. Well blended, rose, sandalwood, spice, something dry and slightly smoky – from the guaiac wood? Amber for sure, soft, round with vanilla undertones. Faint grassy patchouli. Yum. Unisex imo and absolutely gorgeous. Medium sillage, great longevity, value for money, all thumbs up.
Svetcedeabert – :
Do not be fooled by the “cheap” looking bottle. This scent is amazing. It is sooo addictive. It is a silky vanilla/cinnamon concoction, smoothened out by the amber and woody notes. I am having trouble picking out the other notes, which is not a problem at all!
This is such a warming, cuddly fragrance that lasts for a good 12h on skin and more than 24h on clothes. It was still detectable 72h after spraying it on my pillow. Amazing stuff. Perfect for a rainy day with your SO, watching a movie, cuddling.
It is totally unisex.
Scent: 11/10
Projection: 8/10 (3-4h at arm’s length, which is perfect for this juice)
Sillage: 8/10
Longevity: 10/10
Versatility 7/10 (Colder and/or rainy days)
Uniqueness: 9/10
Price-performance: 10/10 (I think I paid €22,-/50ml)
Total: 9/10

I am surprised the fragrantica profile claims this is a fragrance for men. This is not shown anywhere on the package. Of course a woman could still use it even if it was marketed for men.
The scent itself is warm and spicy and quite addictive imo.

Quite yummy! Never smelled Musc Ravegeur but now I don’t care to! I get mostly amber in the drydown! Where’s the musk? Only the shadow knows..lol.. I’m happy to have this in my ever growing amber collection! Came all the way from Bulgaria! Good seller too!❤️
edit: musk is there now!creamy and lovely!
This has become a major major LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

★★★★½
I first tried Musc Ravageur when I was in London, it haunted me. Such a boozy sweet and naughty scent with contradictory elements of romance.
Several years later, I came across Meharees in my local pharmacy, and while I knew other L’Erbolario scents but Meharees was an unknown path…
It’s thinner than the Frederic Malle fragrance but has a very alluring dusty element that makes it mysterious and closer -in character- to one of my favorites: L’ Air Du Desert Marrocain.
Don’t let the price and the availability in pharmacies fool you, this is a beautiful sandy vannilic cinnamon, ready for your night out. It has been my favorite club scent, as it has amazing longevity and medium sillage (I don’t want to be the person that suffocates the dance floor).
This is blind-buy worthy if you’re into orientals. If you’re aware of Musc Ravageur and you want something less sticky & more ethereal with a sandy effect.
Beauty.
jlij2010 – :
Bought this blind, like many, after hearing how similar it is to Musc Ravageur.
And (imho) it is. When I spritzed it on, my eyes rolled back so fast I think I sprained something. This smells just about identical to my experience of Musc Ravageur.
Full disclosure: to me, Musc Ravageur smells exactly like the far dry down of Shalimar, vanillic, musky, gently spicy. And Méharées smells like that dry down as well, down to a T.
If you get something different from Musc R. then this might not smell that similar to you. I’ve heard so many impressions of Musc R. that I’m certain my perception of it is but one of many.
HOWEVER, if you love Musc R. but can’t afford a full bottle (I hear you), Méharées is budget friendly enough that it’s worth a blind buy if you can’t find a sample.
Oh, and yes, just like the Malle fragrance, this is completely unisex.
vika6638 – :
Meharees has been on my blind-buy list since 2014, but I just couldn’t manage to pull-the-trigger on a full bottle purchase. Although I didn’t buy into the Musc Ravageur hype several years ago, I fell in love with it but didn’t purchase a bottle because it wasn’t well-received by others, and I couldn’t justify the price for yet another scent I enjoy while reading at home. So after my terrific experiences with Dolcelisir, coupled with all the positive reviews for Meharees, it was a no-brainer that I would one day own this fragrance.
I was fortunate to receive a sample recently and I am sad to report that I did not love Meharees. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very nice cinnamon-vanilla oriental spicy fragrance–and right priced too–but it is no substitute for Musc Ravageur, which I find to be much more masculine, thicker, richer and with much better performance on my skin. To me, Meharees has that lighter, fresher, almost Mediterranean type vibe that, while pleasant enough, was not what I was looking for from this scent. I am not a big fan of cloves when used in perfumery, but its presence was noticeably lacking from Meharees.
In the end, I found Meharees to be a pleasant lighter alternative to Musc Ravageur. However, it did not meet my lofty expectations so I will not be ordering a bottle. Your mileage may vary so give it a try…it’s still a very nice fragrance.
Annataksid – :
Didn’t try the perfume but I used the shower gel a few times at my friend’s house when I stayed at hers- so sensual, spicy, warm, beautiful! It was the only time I experienced smelling like my shower gel a few hours after I showered. Maybe because it was quite oily, so the scent stayed on the skin. Loved it! I want to try the perfume as well, and if it smells the same, as far as I’m concerned it’s 100% unisex
alex-tap – :
This is a need-to-try frag for me! I’m not too excited about fragrances with a dominant sandalwood note though… I’d love to try this one reading all the positive reviews, but don’t quite dare to blind buy! What’s the woody notes like in this one?? Any thoughts on this is much appreciated…

very good delicious arabic approacching perfume. I didn’t expect that! i tried it bacause very good reviews… good job
junker318 – :
I received my first 50ml bottle of Meharees yesterday and after 2 sprays I was struck with instant regret, Regret that I didn’t purchase the 100ml bottle to be exact! Wonderfully crafted fragrance, on my skin I can detect the vanilla, cinnamon and a musk note? Whatever, I love the way it smells on me!I’m glad I’ve found an alternative to Jaipur for men which I love but can’t wear because of it gives me severe headaches! They are not similar smelling but share that same feeling of being transported elsewhere when worn! There is nothing cheap smelling about this fragrance, and it is completely accessible for a man to wear! This I would describe as a scent of a well-traveled soul! Sexy, exotic.romantic, and blissful are the words I associate with Meharees! Male or Female this fragrance will compliment both! From further on I will purchase the 100ml because I know the 50ml isn’t gonna last me too long! I highly recommend this fragrance, try before you buy if possible I hope you are as delighted with it as I am!
Alkara66 – :
Absolutey gorgeous scent.
So many great reviews.
Just wanted to add this is not for men only. Definitely unisex, nothing that would make me not wear Méharées and I’m a woman
doer – :
Simply perfect for the cold weather, like today! A great, great alternative to Musc Ravageur. Cheaper and very good quality! L´Erbolario made a good job on this one.
alexandr63 – :
i live in italy where l’erbolario is quite common, and they made some great perfumes at very good prices.
this meharees is one of my favourites, very particular (i never sniffed musc ravageur), is warm, ambery, spicy, sweety sugary but in a dry way (as can be a date)
it perfect fit with the mood of the fragrance, a journey in a middle-eastern desert.
is a wonderful scent, i think that if were a dior, chanel, or maybe tom ford, this was considered a masterpiece, but maybe the real masterpiece is the musc ravageur that came before.
anyway, is a really, really great perfume for an amazing price (22 euros 50ml), one of the best price/quality perfumes ever, also because this does not smell absolutely synthetic or cheap, it smell absolutely natural.
what a beautiful perfume!
8,5/10

citrus top, no cinnamon, vanilla and musk with amber
htatqgdyvfj – :
The utter gorgeousness of Dolcelisir set my expectations high, but Meharees was a slight disappointment.
For the first 15 minutes it smells downright unpleasant resembling bug spray. At this stage it reminds me a little bit of Tauer’s L’Air du Desert Marocain. When the weird chemical tone has vanished you’re left with some cinnamony vanilla and a distant whisper of fruitiness in the background. Smells nice, but not particularly interesting
The performance is mediocre at best which enhances the bland impression. Yawn…
lrh753Negeltzex – :
it’s warm, spicy comforting scent.
kinda reminds me when i was a child and my mom always bought me ginger candy on the bus. this thing smells like that!
opens up with blast of cinnamon and something zesty but that doesnt last long.
on the 10mins and on, the cinnamon still the strongest note i smelled. the vanilla and musk appear slightly in mid phase. i detect a hint of smells that kinda like soda.
this scent is not particularly linear IMO.
on my skin, this is absolutely gorgeous!
Scent: 9.5
Longetivity: 10 (12hrs+)
projection: 9 (3-4hrs)
Sillage: 7 (slightly above average)

den756 – :
While I had heard of Meharees as the Musk Ravageur “dupe”, this one got my attention when I started searching for a spicy oriental that wouldn’t affect my budget.
I finally found it at a local pharmacy and gave it a try. A few hours later I went back and bought it, since I had spent the entire morning sniffing my wrist. It’s warm and sexy and definitely doesn’t smell cheap or synthetic.
I couldn’t care less about the MR debate, this is an actually good, classic fragrance, by any standards. In my opinion, it gives most of the latest designers’ launches in female fragrances a run for their money.
dzxtckfd1990 – :
“Sugar and spice and everything nice”
An excellent scent, especially considering it’s affordability.
The opening is captivating with ethereal spices and baby powder. An amber heart follows suit, it’s nice and rich with a subtle animalic facet and gradually fades into a musky drydown that is pretty if somewhat safe and simplistic. Overall a very pleasant composition that with a little more structure and volume could pass for niche.
It is ideal to satisfy that craving for sweetness I get every once in a while, and has good lasting power and a subtle projection. It’s in accord with popular tastes, in other words: a compliment getter 😉 The comparisons with Musc Ravageur however seem unjustified IMHO and no one will take this for a 400$ frag.
blackknight47 – :
This is my favourite every day scent. In my opinion, it’s light enough for daytime and summer, but also definitely warm enough for cold winter nights. It also layers beautifully, since it’s sweet yet dry.
qyk480speagoessenda – :
I just got a sample of this. I’ve heard how much it is like Musc Ravageur…and it is true. I did not expect it to be that similar. The progression is different, Musc Ravageur opens more citrusy and is a little more smokey and complex, but this is definitely as close as anyone could expect from a fragrance a fraction of the price. Not sure if I’ll go for the FB of this or Musc Ravageur, mostly bc I live in the US and this is hard to come by. If I lived somewhere that this was readily available, I would go for this one.
Spaplyproromy – :
If you have the opportunity to put your hand on, do it, even by blind buy. This scent has a niche DNA.
I have the other perfume from the same house, DOLCELIXIR, (Hermes Ambre Nargile killer). Both are FANTASTIC.
Offer yourself 2 superb scents for less than 50 dollars.
A must try
Vova_92-92 – :
Superb scent. It opens more like a cinnamon-pepper combo as opposed to animalic sharp cloves in Musc Ravageur. But in the drydown these are extremely similar. Performance is 1/3rd of MR and projection is apprximately 50% of it but surely hands it the edge over the MR because you can wear this anytime anywhere without having to worry about invading spaces. Superb quality for price. Very well composed scent for price. I enjoy wearing it. MR is another stellar scent but I have heard recent batches are weak. Yet to test those. Overall an easy 8/10.
kub109speagoessenda – :
One of the most delightful unisex scents out there. Easily worn by a stylish or casual young or mature woman. A fine low budget snuggly scent; perfect for bedtime. I adore this; my decant might be running dry before spring…. FB time? Hmmmmm, something to ponder. 😉
Алинчик:) – :
I bought it yesterday after sniffing it on a blotter and I loved it. To my surprise, it wasn’t as hot and churchy as I thought (because of myrrh,which isn’t listed on the notes but it’s definitely there).
Today I sprayed it on mg wrist and… Magic. At the beginning I could smell citrusy notes and a bit of myrrh, it was quite fresh. After a little while I began smelling rose, a lot of it. But it wasn’t overwhelming at all, it’s a delicate creamy rose, and I also smelled dates, sandalwood, and then vanilla and amber. A bit of cinnamon. On me the main notes were myrrh, rose, sandalwood, vanilla and amber.
It’s sweet and spicy, not really a gourmand but similar.
By the way, I was expecting a very intense sillage with this one, instead it was very close to the skin, which made me even happier. It’s a warm wintery scent, but not as strong as I feared it to be.
ckelevra – :
funny because it is described as a myrrh and date fragrance. I dont see them in the notes list . I will sample I am curious
mechanik – :
This is my new favorite! I heard that my beloved artist G-Dragon adores Musc Ravageur, but when I googled for MR the price tag made me shock lol. So I read comments in Fragrantica and they said about Meharees then I ordered this perfume from Ebay right away. Price is very reasonable.
The scent is definitely unisex. Warm, comfort, inviting, not too sweet, not too masculine.
First 5-10 minutes I can smell a little bit of lovely lemon/orange, after that it is gorgeous musk,vanilla and sweet oriental feeling. I really love this perfume I received a lot of compliments from both men and women saying something like I smell so good from inside and sexy. Staying power on my skin is around 6 hours.
MargaretAnderson – :
this is a beauty. i absolutely love it. its like a unisex version of coco chanel but with a creamy woody powdery finish. I think it odd its listed as mans frag only. defo unisex. I love the guerlain L’art et la matiere collection: cuir beluga tonka, bois armeine etc. this has a similar vibe but for a fraction of the price. It opens with a warm woody spice then flows into a warm vanilla spice with a creamy powdery finish. It is close to getting into my top 5 i love it so much. It’s not too sweet like some of the female vanilla frags but has a gentle sweetness – I understand the date note others have mentioned. silage is 5/10 longevity is 6/10 but for that price you can just re-apply it.
MasterOFF – :
On the lookout for TF Sahara Noir substitute (since it is discontinued) I stumbled upon this little gem. Beautiful scent, warm, spicy, woody! I don’t see incense in the list of ingredients but I swear that was the first thing I thought reminded me of Sahara Noir. The lady at the shop also said there is dates in it, giving that delicate sweetness (in no way it is fruity or cheapo sweet note), I don’t see dates listed here either. Maybe it’s an updated formula they now carry? Anyways, definitely on my wish list. I still have a tester to see how’s it doing in the longevity department, but so far, I love it!
sliava11 – :
Only one word:masterpiece.
To Themuffinman:Your fragrance is not fake.L’erbolario changed labeling Acqua di profumo to only PROFUMO on all new boxes and bottles.Profumo is same thing like EAU DE PARFUM.
ivan-85 – :
I too had to try this as I have a huge crush on Musc Ravageur – and sure enough; it’s amazingly similar but this one doesn’t have the sharpness that I sometimes experience with Ravageur. This is the same scent, but silky smooth. I can spray 6-8 sprays and it’s not remotely overbearing, I just feel surrounded by a soft spicy cloud.
Ravageur has sligthly better longevity on me, and stays truer to the original scent even after many, many hours, but Meharees is probably my favourite of the two even so; just more wearable.
utm330intitytek – :
So, the legends are true.
Musc Ravageur was a masterpiece (in a way only Roucel could pull off) because it achieved what it did without any floral notes, just wood, spice, and synthetic notes.
But Méharées is a masterpiece because its creator achieved what Roucel did with cheaper, fewer, and more natural ingredients. This is an essay in how rose with spice, orange peel, and vanillic woods can achieve a gorgeous, sensuous musk without the skank.
I’ve worn Musc Ravageur for years, since it’s release, and I have to say I prefer this. I respectfully disagree that this smells more synthetic. To me it is very much a softer, more natural, “pastel” Eau de Toilette rendition of Roucel’s masterpiece. And that, in my opinion, makes it significantly more wearable. What’s more, I’ve only had this for two hours and I’ve been complimented half a dozen times. I’ve never been complimented on Musc Ravageur.
Terrific.
Nicol1967 – :
@Themuffinman
I think is very unlikely that that you would have a fake. I never seen or heard about a fake L’erbolario fragrance. Maybe is a new design, how is the fragrance, is smell proeminent as alcohol? How much is lasting on your skin?
Later edit. I just seen on youtube the latest video of FragBoy Stewie, and he have a bottle just like yours.So is pretty much sure that L’erbolario changed the labels for Meharees and Dolcelisir.
Pophomshole – :
@Themuffinman: Probably, unless L’Erbolario has changed the label on their bottles. However, I went to the official website, and the pictures show bottles with “Acqua di Profumo” on.
natiqwsx – :
I was wondering if someone could give me some info. I bought this online and the picture associated with it had on the bottle ‘acqia di profumo’ whereas the bottle I’ve received says only ‘profumo’, have I been sold a fake? Any help is much appreciated.
goldenboy – :
This fragrance is divine. Not very expensive, but for this price, you get a scent worth of a niche.
Meharees is an oriental goodness, almost a gourmand scent. Not strictly foody, but nonetheless it has quite a lot of powdery vanilla that combined with rose and cinnamon smell so delicious! As it develops, Meharees shows more of its woody/incense face with some subtle myrrh undertones (it used to be listed in the ingredients, not any more for some reason).
I really enjoy wearing it, but unfortunately it does not have a very big projection and could last a bit longer on my skin. For this price, I am not complaining too much, but it would be nice if the parameters of it were as impressive as the scent itself.
SYaqonIQ – :
In Hungary it is still available.
beni100 – :
did they discontinue this masterpiece ? I could not find any in my country, not even from their counter!
ksanserg – :
Unreal. I bought this on ebay for about 20 EUROS after reading the reviews on here that this smells similar to Musc Ravageur. And guess what? IT REALLY DOES. Minus the huge musky furry note that Musc R. has, it is uncanny in its resemblance especially in the dry down. If you have a good nose, you will definitely notice the differences between the two but from a distance, they could be twins. Meharees, while inexpensive, is not cheap smelling nor overly synthetic in that nauseating kind of way. It is actually quite beautiful and smells of quality. I get warm woods, spices, vanilla and musk. Meharees has become my everyday scent and Musc R. is now being saved for special occasions. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a bottle of this!
Hernmeamymn – :
There is a lot of discussion around this fumes similarity to Lutens Musc R. To me one of the differences is the prominence of the guaic wood in Meharees. It stands out quite a bit more in my mind and is why I love this one
Dotesotte – :
Meharees is a class act!
The vanilla, cinnamon and amber are all present from the beginning with the most gentle whisper of dried citrus peel, almost like Earl Grey tea accompanying the mix. On my skin, it starts out so soft and subtle that I thought it might get lost right away.
I quickly discovered how much the resinous amber accord really begins to blossom and intensify after a few hours. I have read of it’s kinship to the timeless Musc Ravageur and I TOTALLY see it. I wasn’t crazy about the loud musk note in MR, so Meharees is the perfect fit for me. I’ve yet to wear it in Winter Months, and I can only imagine how much more it will come alive then.
For the price, I consider this a perfume of great quality. Do pick up a bottle, you won’t regret it!
PS: Does anyone know who the Perfumers are for L’Erbolario? I’m curious to know if this was made as a “knock off” to MR, or if it was created independently and has a similar vibe. Thanks for any info!
Pommopaycap – :
I love cheap thrills, and L’Erbolario do cheap thrills well. This is the infamous Musc Ravageur clone, and as I write this, I have Méharées on one arm and Musc Ravageur on the other. The parallels are there, but this is not a full substitute.
Méharées starts with a spicy cinnamon and a delicately metallic clove. The clove delivers a faint medicinal chill to what is otherwise a warm tea-like oriental. It’s more balsamic than sweet, and there’s a fig/myrrh kind of desiccation to it. It’s somewhere between chai and an oily benzoin. The scent is quite linear and flat, but it wears pleasantly and is absolutely worth the $25 or so that it costs for a 50ml bottle (I had a friend bring it back from Italy for me). However, if you compare it to Musc Ravageur directly, its inadequacies are revealed.
The most obvious difference between the two is the musk. Musc Ravageur has a blistering civet at the start that’s entirely missing from Méharées. Furthermore, Musc Ravageur is more bodied and refined whereas Méharées comes off as gaunt and shrill in comparison. Having said that, over the course of thirty or so minutes, the two scents drift closer together and what’s left is a fairly analogous base, but I still wouldn’t say they’re identical. Musc Ravageur becomes a rich tonka over time that remains fairly refined; Méharées is notably hollow and higher pitched in comparison, becoming more of a synthy vanilla-resin affair. Musc Ravageur maintains its raunchy musk whereas Méharées never had one to begin with. Méharées smells cheaper in comparison, but not necessarily cheap unto itself. And that’s the key here: Musc Ravageur is about 8X the price of Méharées, but Méharées doesn’t smell 8X as cheap as Musc Ravageur. One way to look at Méharées is that it’s a sturdy, simple scent that just happens to resemble a more developed and expensive scent. While fans and owners of Musc Ravageur would inevitably be let down by this, for the less nitpicky, the dramatic price difference makes Méharées well worth it. It’s no true substitute because it lacks what makes Musc Ravageur what it is: the musk. But if you hate Musc Ravageur’s animalic musk yet enjoy the warm spiced vanilla-tea that it becomes, and as long as you’re okay with a less cultivated composition overall, go with Méharées and save yourself a massive chunk of change.

This has been my signature perfume for a couple of years, when I was very young. Speziato, warm he remembers the medioriente..what I love a lot. This perfume remembers me my summers..beach friends and first loves.
I love him/it but I don’t succeed anymore unfortunately in bringing it..suffocate me and me tired!

I like it: it’s sweet but also spicy,warm. It reminds me of some Christmas pie or biscuit, it’s perfect for winter. However, not too heavy or sugary.
dgolf – :
A wave of spices with a musky base followed by a sweetness from the dried fruits. I don’t like it, as it is cloyingly sweet and makes me nauseous by being also quite strong in the first hour.
On my skin it gets powdery and I think it’s more feminine than masculine. It dries down to a simple sweet scent.
3/10
andrew_script – :
Excellent choice for the fall and winter months. I get sweet dates, sultry resins, sandalwood, amber, cinnamon and musk. This lasts anywhere from 6 – 9 hours on me with moderate projection. L’Erbolario has really done a superb job with Dolcelisir (in my top 3) and Meharees.
Update: After wearing this more in the fall and winter, I can truly say I love this fragrance. I’ve had the opportunity to test Chergui and Musc Ravageur (I’d put all 3 in the same family- dry, sultry, sweet) and I believe Meharees is just a more pleasant scent…and it’s cheaper. I’m so glad to have this in my wardrobe. One of my top 5 scents…EVER!
roma7070 – :
le prime note, di arancia candita, lasciano presto il posto ad un accordo speziato di mirra, chiodi di garofano e datteri, che danno all’insieme una certa cremosità. assai simile al costosissimo musc ravageur (che è anzi più timido e minimale). molto gradevole.
alexusaru – :
Just a reminder… this is actually marketed toward women. I’ve seen it in the women section of L’Erbolario stores countless times in Italy.
rejissor – :
I was so happy when I’ve found this interesting and captivating little curiosity. It’s listed for men but it’s rather unisex, as some of the reviewers pointed out, so I was delighted to wear it some long time ago. I can’t quite remember all of the notes now that some time passed I haven’t worn it but I recall the air of a luxurious refinement embracing lavish elegance and lifestyle that subtly evokes a sense of the exotic and an image of oriental golden Deserts. It’s like a warm touch of a deluxe cashmere texture at your fingertips. I think it’s time to purchase it again and wrap myself with this sensual, sophisticated caress. This remarcable oriental has a beautifully balanced smooth flow but at the same time attracting your attention all the time.
bisser888 – :
Very interesting oriental scent that I got it today. The first sniff is weird, I don’t know what I can smell, something old, dirty/churchy and at the same time sweet spicies, maybe the mix of myrrh, patchouli and vanilla. It calms down fast into softer powdery dusty vanilla, sandalwood, this part reminds me of Shalimar but so much sweeter and funny, not as mature and raw. I think I like it, I always dig my nose into my arm to smell more:)
Sillage is rather close to the skin or moderate, lasting is also max. 4-5 hours on my skin.
Very addictive scent, I love it already:) I think it can be use in hotter weather also, because not so strong, on me it’s silky and lightish
serg63chika – :
L’Erbolario‘s Meharees is a hot, sensual, exotic fragrance. It starts off medicinal with hot cinnamon! It made me think of the exotic spice market in Marrakech, Morroco. The dates add a sweetness to the scent, they are sweet with vanillic orange drizzle. Maybe it is my imagination, I sense a bit of curry powder, it is used daintly here. The amber is warm and rich with a hint of cinnamon underneath. The Myrrh then joins in to complement the amber. The myrrh adds an exotic touch to the scent, I am transported to the hot dry Sahara Desert. I adore the sultry vanilla drydown. It lasts for about 7 hours and the sillage is soft for me. This was a great blind buy for me (Not affiliated but purchased from CyberCucina.com)! The fragrance is marketed for men, but women can wear this too!

In addition to the mentioned spicy notes,dates and myrrh, the official site of L’Erbolario talks about “woody and ambery notes. fresh accords, enriched with warm and velvety tones, with a mild and sweet background” and into the list of ingredients of the bath collection is mentioned “cotton oil” and honey. Can’t say about the honey, but actually cotton can be also part of the composition of the perfume, even sugar. I believe ginger and vanilla as well cause Meharees remind me Vaniglia e Zenzero by L’Erbolario (arbitrarily translated in Vanilla & Ginger by Fragrantica) then probably those can be part of the composition.
And yes this is so similar, the smooth version of Musc Ravageur to make us doubt of the precious and expensive raw materials of certain niche/elite producers.
Honestly who has some knowledge of marketing knows that, despite the ingredients, some expensive products are sold with an high price just to catch the attention and money of rich believers.
Meharees is a truly beautiful and classic “One Thousand and One Nights” perfume.
A sunset in Egypt.
A lot of sandal in the drydown.

@gregoriou5: I own both Meharees and Spicebomb. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find them similar.

I’ve had so many compliments since I’ve been wearing this. It’s definitely going to become my signature scent I think.
For people who are comparing this with Spice Bomb, then they’re definitely right as I’ve been asked if that is the fragrance I’m wearing. I haven’t tried it though, so can’t compare them.

The rumors are true, Meharees is indeed very much like Musc Ravageur… and even better!!
Meharees opens up with sweet orange and dried dates and eventually dries down to almost chocolatey spicy musky vanilla. Like said, Meharees smells like the best part of MR – the drydown after the pissy musk clove top notes. Also Meharees is fairly cheap and can be easily applied freely without having the feeling of smelling too much of perfume. L de lolita is also mentioned here and I partially agree that all three MR, L and Meharees share a salty quality but lolita leans more towards the gourmand side due to the caramel.
Normally I’m sceptic about “reminds me of” perfumes but this totally exceeded my expectancies! Absolutely worth it!!

A true masterpiece up their with LDDM by Tauer. I never smelled MR so I can’t speculate. This is a very dry scent. iDK if the notes listed are accurate as I feel their is more. Maybe some cinnamon and Tonka. This is very long lasting with mega sillage! A very cozy and romantic scent best worn on cooler days. A blind buy that will be in collection as long as I am alive!!

Profumo semplice e bello, dolce e speziato, delicato, non troppo impegnativo, lieve.
Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, da indossare quando si ha voglia di un profumo spensierato e leggero.
Più che unisex, per me è proprio molto femminile e “giovane”.
