the perfume starts with a sharp burst of citrus and that typical assaf gasoline type of smell. it is very energetic and commands attention immediately. the assaf nature remains all the way from start till the end of the day. after the initial burst, of brightness, the perfume truly develops into a warm and extremely powerful fragrance. its so sophisticated that i cannot describe in words. all i can say is : powerful, royal, distinctively middle eastern. but so powerful. it is mysterious and loved by women. it is definitely a luxurious smell. not for everyday and not for younger men. i think my big brothers will benefit from it extremely well. 200ml bottle which is almost full as you can see in the picture.
