I was expecting something different when I saw it had toffee/caramel and hazelnut notes in it. I thought this could be something like Guerlain L’homme Ideal or at least something very sweet. So I decided to buy it out of curiousity and was initially dissapointed that it smelled like Spicebomb. That is obviously not a bad thing and only the top of the pyramid as this fragrance dries down it starts to remind more and more of Le Male Essence de Parfum, just less sweet. It is very comforting, warm and sweet with some tobacco. All in all a very affordable combination of Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb & JPG Le Male Essence de Parfum. Good option if you are looking for a fall fragrance and don’t own either of those mentioned above. If you’re interested in those two but have a tight budget, this will save you the money. It is not as good as either of them alone but as a combination of those two with the price tag of 20 euros it is something to consider. For me, as I own Le Male Essence de Parfum this unluckily did not bring anything new on the table but on the other hand I don’t need to buy Spicebomb anymore.
It is not a performance monster but I can smell it everytime I wave my arm and can detect it from arms length. It is not something I would wear at office environment, or at least would not spray a lot. It is more for going out for a walk or something to make you feel warm while being cozy at your house in a fall/winter time. I use it as an evening scent and so far it has lasted from 6pm to the time I go to bed so that should be enough.

I’m getting a strong caraway note on opening that i’m guessing is supposed to be the hazelnut. I think the tobacco and hazelnut are blending to give this scent and it is just putting me off. It improves on dry down but is still there as well. Sad i’d hoped to like this

The first Al Haramain I bought, Urbanist Prive Silver is oddly at the intersection of a few general categories in my opinion—fresh, spicy, metallic, and sweet.
I can barely detect the usual standout notes of tobacco and oud. Rather, I get mainly a mix of honey and sandalwood with a vaguely spicy accord that I cannot accurately define, and I suspect it’s the remainder that accounts for the metallic background. There’s also a certain muskiness to it. I’ve considered that I’ve simply failed to recognize the listed hazelnut note, as this is surely a wildcard that could provide the sweetness and slight spiciness, but it’s just too hard to say.
In summary, it’s sweet from honey, calmly woody due to sandalwood, and the rest of it is a little spicy, musky, and metallic. Bizarre but provocative and versatile, probably year-round usable.
Performance is above average and it’s a deal not to be beaten, at $23 for 100ml on BeautySpin. A worthy blind buy if you’re in the mood for something slightly odd.
