This was a blind buy I saw the pretty bottle and took a chance on it. Omigod when I put the delicate perfume oil on my hand to test it I was shocked at the scent – exactly after sex scent! No one else doing reviews on this perfume mentions it.
I was eager to smell rose, jasmine, sandlewood but it never happened! I had to scrub this off my hand to go out or people would think I just had sex and forgot to shower! Eew!
After washing hand I could still smell it but scent changed to white floral after 15 minutes with no hint of the opening shocker scent. Maybe it is my body chemistry that caused it but I recommend testing this before buying if possible or be prepared for a naughty scent!

Zahra is unusual attar even for me and I own at least 40 different ones.
In few words – squashed into juice fresh pine needles or blackcurrant leaves (bitter-sweet) with sour plum puree. Very Christmasy if you ask me. Add to this balsamic mixture slightly bitter, musty spices and orange blossom and that is Zahra. It reminds me of Sonia Rykiel fragrance in the shape of an orange sweater, which I also associate with Christmas time or with Mugler’s Angel Rose.
Very enjoyable oil, not very loud one as well.
Right notes:
Blackcurrant, dark plum, neroli
Rose, ylang-ylang, spices
Amber, vanilla, sandal

After two days of wearing Zahra I started hate it. I don’t like smell of cheap sandalwood.. It’s horrible and longlasting in cloth, unfortunately…

Oil version:
I wanted to try a more sweet oil and something from swiss arabian so i chose this one.
I find the colorful box lovely,i like the orange-blue-gold,the little bottle is also cute:decorated frosted glass with the dipstick.
The perfume to me smell like a tropical fruit with a light touch of vanilla. It smells like mango, it reminds me of a tropical fruit popsicle that i always get in summer.
Is very sweet,and only a few drop are needed,at the beginning the fragrance can fill the room but gets lighter with time.
On the skin lasted all day and the next day i still smelled it but don’t project as much as in the beginning,because i didn’t applied a lot.
Is a very simple sweet tropical scent, now is winter and i enjoy this fragrance but i feel like i will love this scent even more in the warmer seasons

It a sweet honey like juice, with mimosa, saffron and marigold. It has a little bit of sour taste because of berry note. It lasts 3-4 hours, very close to skn. I love the bottle a lot. It is reasonably priced, very feminine. It has musk drydown, which i like.

Its odd how there are so many negative reviews on this, but the love and like is so high…hmmm. Well I for one like it. Its a sweet fruity floral that is soft and not too much of an in your face choking kind of sweet either. Its creamy, delicate and screams femininity! Im 42 and don’t find this girly like some typical cheap celebrity type of fragrance at all. A little goes a long way too, so use lightly! 🙂

I usually love swiss arabian , i have most of their stuff. Not this one though , it is a very overly sweet mango juice that doesn’t have any depth to it. Would not recommend to anyone. Might be good for small girls , does not suit an adult

Very fruit mango smelling long lasting perfume oil.
Unfortunately this gives me a headache – it smells very synthetic.
I think i’ll try again when my sinuses are clear but i’m pretty sure its happened with Zahra before.
Great summer scent though reminding me of the ‘Escada’ vibe.

Curried honeydew. Refreshing, spicy, and incredibly odd. Somehow delicious but not exactly wearable or suitable for most occasions.

I decided to try something different and stumbled upon this. I love perfume oils and thought to try this. I was so surprized it was very similar to Le Roy Soleil by Dali & Lalique’s Nilang. In fact, I wore all of them together and it intensified that fruity, musky, woody and spicy scent.
Can be worn whenever you want to feel sunny and bright with a hidden camel in the background!

Zahra, the Arabic name for flower, came across to me as a very sweet orange juice. It reminded me of honey sweetened freshly squeezed Egyptian orange juice, deeply orange and amazingly fragrant. But there’s no orange note here. To my nose, the flowers are difficult to detect initially, but with the second wearing, I was able to pick up a clear berry note mixed with jasmine which morphs into a sweet resinous vanilla. The resin scent could very well be the oud note which is only detectable right at the end. This is very fresh, sweet, extremely long lasting and with decent silage. In fact, I could detect zahra, more than 48 hours later, when I open the wardrobe where my scarf is sitting. The notes are synthetic, the price is very cheap ( 20ml perfume oil for 10 USD) but Zahra is a well crafted, pretty sweet floral scent. It is non-obtrusive and absolutely perfect in the dry hot summer.

I am a bit disappointed about this scent. Especially because I have other scents to compare it to. For example, Lancome Poeme has this honey/linden aroma and is soft and long lasting.
All I get here is little bit of maybe honeysuckle and mimosa. Sweet, yes. Spicy ? Where ? I don’t detect any spice.
It is a nothing scent to my nose. Whereas the Al Haramain Attar Al Kaaba roses/oud sample can knock you out with its potency, here it is the opposite. I have to put my nose close to the arm to sniff.
No big deal, I shall test many other samples on this Arabic Perfume Oil path of discovery. Just thought to write my review to let you know about Zahra.

I just got it from someone. Had been in use for a year.(my bottle looks different than the-one on this photo; I´ve the 80%-one). And it´s also winter here. 10 below 0 by Celsius..may be all that, but all I get is leather. strong, even terrifying..smell of leather-saddle.. The bottle is adorable, but I still feel a bit sick and shocked by the perfume.. Wish to smell it with hot weather, because at the moment I´m here left with the feeling that I get none of what the fragrance really is:(
Strateg – :
I just rec’d it today and it does have a familiar aroma. I’m wrecking my brain to see what i can compare this fragrance to. Its nice but oddly familiar.
Gorgonzolla – :
A bright,tart floral scent. I don’t find it to be too strong or overpowering. There is a hint of musk, which I think makes this oil appropiate year round. Some smells can be defined by colors, and what immediately pops in my head is “yellow”, in a sunshiney, cheerful way. Very reasonably priced as well. I hope this one’s a keeper, as some note in other Arabian perfumes I have tried have given me a massive headache. So far, so good with this one.
kozlov_as – :
There is a zesty, fresh top note and I think that may be the vetiver. Then almost immediately, a warm, sweet dry down. It smells like ripe, exotic fruit. It’s very feminine. I would definitely recommend.
As Janina recommended Noora, I could not agree more. Noora is also a very lovely fragrance by Swiss Arabian. In my opinion though, Zahra and Noora smell nothing alike. They’re both great, but not similar. Amazon is a great place to get both perfumes.

I have perfume oil. Lovely, soft, sweet and bit spicy. Like Egyptian musk oil + Boucheron Trouble drydown. Love it.
