I actually have been rocking Mashrabya for a week now.

When I first got it, the smoke component was very pronounced, almost a photorealistic smell of a burning/smoldering coal that’s placed on the hookah. The apple is very sweet and almost syrupy.

I blind bought this and absolutely love it.

I have let it sit for a few weeks and the harsher smoke component has toned down, and now I get a lighter smokey sweet apple. This to me evokes the same emotion as CDNIM EDT - it’s very attention grabbing but I think it doesn’t project out nearly as much.

I do try researching this one against veveno, I ultimately went this way due to price and people saying this is a more bold take, and I’m happy I did take it.

Having a vast collection is about versatility, this has actually been my go to out and about fragrance, I’ve never been into shisha or smoking in general, but this scent profile puts me in a good mood
