I was captivated by this fragrance, despite its intensity. Upon reviewing the notes, I was impressed, and upon receiving it, I fell in love with it. It is one of my favorite and strongest fragrances. The fragrance is highly complex, featuring numerous notes. However, I believe it is beneficial to have a well-developed olfactory palette before making a purchase. If you feel confident in your ability to appreciate it without this, then by all means proceed.

I was slightly concerned at first as the scent was slightly different from what I remember smelling at the amouage store in New Jersey. The opening is less spicy and sweet, which is possibly batch variation. The bottle has the batch code removed from the bottom and I also noticed that there are some subtle variations with the raised decorations on the box compared to the box that King Blue from Amouage came in. That being said everything else looks as you'd expect and the magnetic cap behaves as it should. It is somewhat dishonest to advertise as "sealed - retail box" since it appears that it was opened at some point to wash the batch code off of the bottle. That being said—it still represents a really good value for a luxury fragrance. Initially I had some concerns, but after spending some time with the product I am convinced that the product is legitimate. The fragrance changes through its stages exactly as you would expect.

I have never heard of this company, but I am glad to report that they are completely legitimate. **For anyone who is new to shopping discounters** These are not testers. Tester bottles do not come with full presentations, and are sometimes missing caps. Discounters open the box, remove batch codes to hide the bottles origin and seal it. Do not be alarmed.
