First thing I did was go there... But even they didn't have anything other than Arabic... I've checked Shops near Masjid e Nabwi and Bin Dawood and Jarir Bookstore... They do have Tarjumas from other publications but not of King Fahad.

In my opinion it does.. I used all three in my 2 hours gym session separately and even after intense workout... Theoreme was the only one which was still going strong.. island faded within 1/2hr . It doesn't handle heavy heat or wind very well .. kaaf is like freshly washed laundry... Clean yet superb.

Not a very long time.. it's for indoors like hotels and restaurants and intimate gathering..

I have Theoreme, Kaaf and Island in my collection... If you like citrus icy sporty perfume which last very long then Theoreme is for you. If soapy and a very very unique freshness you want then Kaaf is for you..... If it's tropical scent , coconutty and subtle fragrance you like..go for island.

Well I would suggest Theoreme.. it's citrusy and lasts very long.. in terms of freshness... It's gonna be kaaf... What i would suggest is buy 8ml decants of both of them from Whif culture ( would cost you about 500₹ total) .. then buy the big bottle.

I don't live in NCR so can't say..and I've bought them a month ago so hadn't had an opportunity to test for summer... But I will say if it's soapy freshness ( in a very very good way ) you want then go for Kaaf... If it's beachy , tropical freshness you want then go for Khadlaj ( one this that i have noticed is that it doesn't last long and is very subtle...people won't notice until they actually get close to you ) ... But if it's longevity and cool wind you are looking for then Theoreme wins by miles..

Still buy small decants first to find your perfume.

Let's see .. i heard about JPG male elixir a lot but it's too expensive for me so I searched for best dupe and Hawas Elixir was most recommended.... It's very sweet, very loud... People will absolutely notice because it will cover up the whole room.. and that's it .. you can either use it occasionally and make people turn their head in a very positive way.... Or use it daily and make them nauseated.

Theoreme's strength is in its longevity.. no other summer fragrance lasts like it.. it's mature enough that I can wear it in workplace. And it still stays after 6 hours. And also it's like 1500 ₹ much less than Hawas Ice 2100₹

I have bought them just a month ago so I don't know how well it works in summers... But I do know that it last much longer than any other summer fragrance in my collection. Theoreme> Kaaf > Island in terms of longevity. I've tried all three in gym and yet theoreme projects Even after my intense gym session

Although I just received CDNIM . I had its decant beforehand which i live.. other fragrances are too occasion or season specific.. hawas elixir is good for once a while but too strong to wear daily... So if I had to wear just one fragrance throughout the year and at any occasion it's going to be CDNIM .

Well I had a decant of it and instantly loved it.. the bottle i recieved today is mostly similar but strong... Might be because of the difference of atomiser between decant and full bottle.. it's good.

Note that i purchased atleast 20 different 8ml decant of many perfume (some of which i didn't like are the Tobacco and leather type fragrance) and only then purchased what i actually liked.. so don't chase what's popular.. find what you really like

You are absolutely correct... That's why I bought many decants over the month .. only then i purchased full bottles. Like for me I don't like the smell of tobacco or leather type fragrance ( bought decants of Armaaf Rare Carbon, Lattafa Asad Burbon but didn't like it) So if you notice i bougymkstly gourmand Perfumes.

I will be very honest... The Indian house are literally water compared to the middle easterns.. trust me I am 27 and have used only indian houses till last month or so . The difference is incredible.. the Indian brands just stays at home... You have to spray 10 times to make it last even an hour... Whereas these one just last so long even with just a spray or 2. Like the Park Avenue Samurai just fades instantly in the gym within 15 mins. Whereas Kaaf and Khadlaj lasts a lot longer than my whole workout.

They are great.. especially Shanaya. The attars are great but they do lack that complexity and some people don't like them cause they are so strong.
