Al Haramain Junoon Noir - Arabian Perfume for Women - Floral Fragrance with Notes of Kumquat, Lime, Jasmine, Vanilla, Musk, Cedar - Arabic Long Lasting Femme Scent - Eau de Parfum - 2.5 oz EDP Spray

I had heard amazing things about this fragrance for a while but was hesitant to take the plunge. As anyone who indulges in blind buying knows, it’s a gamble that can often lead to disappointment. However, after much deliberation, I decided to go for it and ordered the full bottle—and let me tell you, it completely exceeded my expectations. This fragrance is stunningly beautiful, almost ethereal in its composition.As a devoted fan of Dama Bianca (a fragrance I personally consider a masterpiece), I was initially skeptical about meeting its supposed sister/cousin. To my delight, Junoon Noir holds its own. It’s not a 1:1 dupe of Dama Bianca, but they’re remarkably close. Upon researching, I discovered their notes differ by just one—Junoon Noir features an additional malt note. Despite this small difference, their similarities are undeniable. Both have a sweet, rosy profile, though Junoon leans slightly sweeter.Packaging:The bottle itself is as elegant as the fragrance inside. Its sleek and minimal design gives it a luxurious feel, making it a beautiful addition to any vanity or collection. The weight and detail of the bottle also hint at quality far beyond its price point.Performance (Sillage, Longevity, and Projection):Junoon Noir delivers moderate performance on my skin. While it doesn’t fall into the “beast mode” category for me, others have claimed otherwise. Its projection sits at about arm’s length, which is perfect for those who prefer their fragrance to make a gentle but noticeable statement rather than announcing itself from across the room. When I compared it directly with Dama Bianca, Junoon slightly edged it out in both sillage and longevity—and at such an accessible price point, it is hard to resist.Fragrance Evolution:From the first spray, Junoon Noir opens with a sweet, rosy profile reminiscent of Dama Bianca, but as it dries down, the malt note begins to shine. This gives the fragrance a smooth and slightly creamy depth, making it feel unique even alongside its more famous counterpart. The sweetness softens over time, leaving behind an elegant, warm finish.Who Might Like This:Junoon Noir is perfect for anyone who loves soft, sweet florals with an elegant, feminine touch. Whether you’re just starting your fragrance journey, exploring Middle Eastern scents, or already have an extensive collection, this fragrance has something to offer. It’s versatile enough for both seasoned collectors and newcomers.Value and Versatility:Junoon Noir is an incredible value for what it offers. Its quality, performance, and similarity to high-end fragrances make it a standout in its price range. It transitions effortlessly between day and night and works across seasons. I see this as a versatile choice for a variety of occasions—date nights, workdays (with a light touch), casual outings, or even special events.

Definitely worth the hype. It has vanilla scents and it lasts for a good while. I always layer mine with the Eos vanilla cashmere. I love the bottle design and it has some sweetness to it .

Omg! How can anyone not love this perfume? This is the most beautiful perfume right out of the box. It's perfect! I will never ever spend more than 75 for another perfume by a designer brand. Middle eastern perfume has became my new love for such a great price. These perfumes are so strong and well blended most of the time. This is blind buy safe. You will not be disappointed. It layers perfectly with armaf imperial and eclair. It lasts over 8 hours. Thank you for making such a high quality scent for a low price. I know it will only get better as it macerates. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is in my top 5 out of my collection of over 251 perfumes, including some niche, some designer, and some middle eastern.

Beautiful and stunning scent. It's a pretty girl soft scent. I wished it projected more than sitting so close to the skin. I don't like the atomizer. It needs to be improved.

I own dama bianca and bought this dupe because i am running low and didnt want to spend an arm and a leg for it. This is a looovvely dupe. Pretty spot on in my opinion. Let it dry completely down before you sniff tho. My initial sniff was alcohol and floral. But it dried down to a sweet vanilla with a touch of floral. Obsessed. This is without maceration too!! So if the smell intensifies thats a plus!!

I just received this today, and upon spraying it on my arm it started burning intensely. It has been over an hour and I've washed my arm with soap and water twice already, but the burning sensation has not subsided. I'm going to try a cold pack to see if that helps. That said, it's a pleasant fragrance...so sad that I likely won't be able to use it.

Please do not buy, this product is fake, the smell is simply almost non-existent, and it does not even last 5 minutes on the skin. I want my money back

I have not smelled the OG but this fragrance stands on its own.
