Can't wait for the review, hopefully it's not too sweet
HMMMMMM.....This is very tempting. This seller also has a couple of other Arabian perfumes that I have been wanting to try. Might just have to pull the trigger on this one. I guess if it is too sweet Ill just give it to the girlfriend and make myself look good. I dont think I can lose here.

Just ordered mine, I wish I didn't open this thread lol
I hope no one is disappointed when they actually get this haha, my nose might be different to a lot of other more experienced noses.
None the less would be interesting to see what other people think, because after a full week of testing I think linking this to LIDGE and Dior Homme might be a little far off. I think it has more Vanilla than both of them, maybe like a more smoky version of Tobacco Vanille. An Arabian kind of Amouage version of 1270 and Tobacco Vanille, but smokier with more incense.
Ok I really need to shut up now.
The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.
Now Im even more excited about it! A nice spicy, smoky, vanilla is something I lack in my wardrobe and have been on the hunt for. I was considering Tobacco Vanille, Eau des Baux, or Strictly Private but now this sounds like it will fill the gap that I was looking for. Plus I ordered another Oudh based frag from the vendor that Im very excited about trying.
Welp, wasn't expecting the thread to be like/about this or w/e.
"Thank you! Your order has been placed."
/shakesfist
jk. Welp, It'll probably arrive sometime! Thanks OP.
"after a full week of testing I think linking this to LIDGE and Dior Homme might be a little far off" and those two were the reasons I bought it ... grrr
and
"an Arabian kind of Amouage version of 1270 and Tobacco Vanille, but smokier with more incense" so now its not even similar to Frapin 1270? I wonder what you'll tell us after one more week of wearing testing it
I think first of all you need to tell us how does LIDGE or DH smell to you after testing them for one week, does LIDGE still smell like LIDGE after one week? :P
I'm only kidding, just don't know what else to do for a month or more till it will get here![]()

I clearly said it smelt like 1270 in my initial statement..

I tested Raghba for one week, I wasn't referring to LIDGE and DH.

^You made me buy this and the Palermo version of Tabacco Vanille this week. That's $65 I'm not getting back!!!
Haha, you've got to admit that the Palermo version of Tobacco Vanille is almost an identical copy, and it has excellent longevity, sillage and projection.
Now that's something I have full confidence in !
Raghba is the one I'm nervous about lol.

I'm disappointed that I wont be able to try the Raghba for another couple of months because of travel for work, but I'll definitely report back my findings. I've got all the frags you've mentioned so far except for 1270 and I love DHI and LIDGE... Let's see how similar it is. I did read on a fragrantica forum that it isn't very sweet and it is very spicy, which doesn't really sound like DHI or LIDGE, but what exactly do you smell? Is there cocoa? Is it very spicy like they said?
EDIT: I'm assuming that because you mentioned it smells like Tabacco Vanille that it is quite spicy?

sorry inc0gnito but I was only kidding as I stated in the post so don't mind me, I'll let you know what I think when or if I'll get the Raghba
Thanks, I am waiting for my bottle to arrive.
I have been in Saudi Arabia a few times and this scent may bring me good memories.

Tell me more about Palermo version of Tobacco Vanille. Where can I find that on ebay, and is it as cheap as the one we've all ordered in this thread? TELL ME MOAR!
Mine finally shipped. I'll try to keep my standards high (as high as they can get for a $20 fragrance that is) and my expectations low, and get back to some of you once it arrives.
