Al HaramainJunoon 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 .

I have been collecting middle eastern perfumes and I feel it is a hit or miss. This was a good blind buy! So different and girly. It’s a sweet floral tangy vanilla powdery scent. Very pretty and nice for the spring and summer!

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.

Gorgeous scent smells very high end. I can’t stop sniffing myself

Smell so delicious on my skin. It only last a few hours on my skin so I also spray it on my clothes to make it last longer. For the price I think it was a great deal!

I have never smelled Dama Bianca but seems as if I would like the notes and heard this was a great show for the scent. Sometimes I will buy dupes of perfumes but mostly I purchase samples if I can’t smell in the store. I blind bought this based on reviews and all of the hype but not sure of the hype. This is a soft scent that has a bug spray kind of smell to me. I have now ordered a sample of Dama Bianca to see if they even smell similar. I did test on a scent strip and then my wrist to see if the smell would change on skin. It did not change nor did it have longevity. Within an hour, I no longer smelled on my wrist. I will let this macerate for a month or so but believe that this was a waste of money and a scent not for me. The price wasn’t bad so guess I just lost this one.

Smells exactly like Xerjoff Casamorati Dama Bianca (I have that one) but lasts much longer!! This is such an underrated Arabian fragrance. Packaging box is gorgeous. The spray nozzle sucks though, it kind of squirts out.
