Description
“Tulay-Tulah is the name of Toledo in Arabic and Hebrew.
Located on a rocky outcrop along the Tagus river, Toledo is the city of the three cultures. It is famous for its religious tolerance: when it was part of Al-Andalus, Jews, Christians and Muslims lived there together in peace and harmony.
Thanks to this coexistence (known as La Convivencia), the city became a radiant economic and cultural center. The incredible artistic and cultural heritage of that period is still visible today, and makes your head spin: churches, mosques and synagogues, palaces and fortresses show to the world the refinement and the taste of those who lived in Al-Andalus. Toledo is a symbol of harmony, balance and good life.
Tulaytulah is my message of peace to the world” – Majda Bekkali. Tulaytulah was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Delphine Thierry.

یه عطر بی نظیر برای کسانی که واقعا عاشق بادام تلخ باشند . در نگاه اول حس و حال سینتتیک داره ولی به مرور نظرتون رو جلب میکنه

A former co worker used to wear a scent similar to this back in the day. Yep, good ole Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom. Keep in mind that this was around 10 years ago but she wore it everyday. This might be a bit more complex as it does have a nutty Tonka driven dry down. Frangipani adds to the playful side of the scent as well. FWIW, it’s a delicate mainstream warm weather scent that smells wonderful,performs average but in my mind is overpriced and in no way unisex.

Got this on sale at Luckscent last year and received yesterday. First off you get some powdery florals, sweetness, and almonds, then you have a very dominating note of star anise come in. This is not the sweet, black licorice-like herb but a very strong, woody, slightly camphorous, somewhat savory aroma. Chinese people use star anise to flavor beef brisket for stews! Bwahaha! Anyway the sweetness and almonds are always in the background offsetting the star anise but it does gets very strong quickly before mellowing out into a bittersweet skin scent. I actually like it, because it has an expected character and I don’t have anything that smells like it. However, this is definitely, not a safe blind buy.

Not sure if I’m a big fan of this or not..
Sorry to start like this. But to me this is a very two-faced(?) smell. On the one hand it is creamy floral with an almond twist on a smooth suede base, almost edible.. a trustworthy smell reminiscent of childhood memories and warmth. On the other hand, it has a bitter synthetic note, like an expired baby cream.
I didn’t even notice this bitter note until hubby said it smelled like Sudocrem (for those who are familiar with it).
I normally stay away from almonds, but like this scent, and the bottle is very pretty. I would probably wear it if I had a bottle, and would probably either get used to the synthetic note and not feel it or it would drive me crazy and ruin the scent. Interesting perfume, definitely a like.

Majda Bekkali has realized at least two masterpieces (Fusion Sacrée Obscur & Clair). Unfortunately Tulaytulah is not up to its predecessors. A pleasing, light, unpretentious scent. Almond as a primary ingredient and a delicious sweet thing. Anything else

A beautyful scent where a little goes a long way, definitely not more than one tiny spriz or it’s overpowering (and my skin usually eats scent). This being inspired by Moorish Spain, it does indeed remind me of the scents of Southern Spain and Morocco – almond, suede and a subtle spicyness.

I really wanted to like this scent, and the top notes smelled very promising, but… Suede and anise take over everything else, from the first spritz to the dry down.

First and foremost, I want to say this fragrance lasts forever! Beyond 12 hours. Unfortunately this sent made my stomach turn, so unfortunately again, I wanted the fragrance to fade faster than it was . the irony , lol. This one just did not sit well with my body chemistry . it smells almost exactly like a Shirley Temple . the Cherry mixed with the almond was a bit too holiday Christmas cookie for me . perhaps this would smell good on someone else but for me it was a bit sticking . I may be interested in trying others from this brand because the quality is VERY good . this specific scent though is a pass for me . I appreciate the sample.

I wanted SO BADLY to love this one. The bottle is a masterpiece, I love almond and cherry blossom and had been struggling to find those notes in a not-too-sweet juice that works for me. The reviews I’ve read are positively glowing. Indeed, the first five seconds after application are perfection.
Unfortunately, my skin does something hideous to this once the alcohol evaporates. I do have an unfortunate tendency to get Play-Doh or plasticky effects from otherwise lovely scents (Hanae Mori, What We Do in Paris is Secret). Tulaytulah confirms for me that this must be a byproduct of whatever is used to create almond scent, because that effect is turned up high with with this one. . . almost literally. I smell like burning plastic! Just an awful, noxious, chemical odor.
I resisted the urge to scrub because, again, I really wanted this to work. At about hour 3, the suede background comes out, but still I smell like a chemical factory. Sigh. Hopefully there are other ingredients that can create the cyanide accord I’m looking for.
TL;DR if you’ve read the notes and like them, this is probably exactly what you’re looking for, UNLESS your chemistry does the Play-Doh thing.

Stunning elegant and chique…and really unisex!
The perfume Tulaytulah from Majda Bekkali (2015) is a combination of Arabic and European notes and suprisingly UNISEX; It starts with a very elegant feminin almond boost but after 5 minutes it turnes into a (again very elegant) slightly unisex/masculine scent, unisex/masculine but very chique and elegant like an very expensive glove.
A little bit too Masculine on the unisex side for me unfortunately, so, who want ‘s to swap? (44/50ml with box)

This fragrance starts with a super boost of almond-milk with anise, like that one we use to drink during Summer in my country in the South of Italy. Then this aromatic sweetness goes away, and instead the tonka takes place- less sweet, but same “taste”; as time goes by, finally the suede note emerges and this is the point when the perfume becomes interesting to me. There’s something I don’t like, maybe because I don’t like perfumes that remember me of food I eat, but also something I crave, the suede with this aromatic tonka and the touch of vanilla; anyway, the fragrance is suitable in every season with every C°.

This fragrance is not launched yet, it will be released end of this month or end of May 2016. It was first shown in Esxence 2016 and it has that amazing milky almonds essence.
The story behind this is Tulaytula which is a historical city that was famous of the co-exist the 3 cultures-religions Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
I can’t wait to get my hands on this masterpiece.
