Just received this in the mail. Smells quite nice. It was a blind buy and I feel very happy with the scent. Has that nice gentleman smell. I definitely give it a thumbs up. I had to spray myself a bit to really get a feel for it. I could be nose blind though. Thanks for great review. Gonna have to wear this around the women. I bet they will like it. Hard to describe the scent. Freakin very nice. I do smell the apple. Its not a sweet apple though like hugo. Definitely gonna rock this.
I had the opportunity to try this, sprayed it on a test strip, along with a bunch of other frags. I later go back through the day, to see how the scent holds up, how it changes, etc. of course skin would be the best test, but when your testing 10-15 different scents, in a visit to the perfume outlet, it's not practicle. Arabia Explorer did catch my eye, the discounters I was out was actually sold out of these but still had a few shelves of testers, and this one was there, I liked the scent from the first smell, seemed rich, fresh but "middle eastern" as you described. I have another Emper (parent company of Le Chameau?) Emper Legend, which is a great performer, so, my hope was that this one would be long lasting as well, well it does. so I placed an order, I expect to get it next week. That sample you have of "Clio" I purchased that one on my visit, very long lasting, a lot of sillage, powerful, 2 sprays and it fills the room, nice floral scent smells like jasmine, although it's not listed as a note. what is your take on it? EDIT Update, so I received my Arabian Explorer, and have worn it a couple times, so here is my experience, It has above average longevity, projection is average, which is a good thing, means it's very office friendly. what makes this such a great fragrance though is it's leather, this is not an abrasive leather smell, like many perfumes out there, this one is a mild, soft leather, that is blended well with the other notes, I have velvet oud, its very loud and sharp kind of leather. of course it's not just leather, the other notes like jasmine, Amber etc all play their supporting roles. key words, Classy, Smooth, Masculine.
Hi Barry. I love your videos and so do many others! Don't let anything stop you getting behind the camera. You are a star and provide so much insight for avid frag heads such as myself. Own it mate. All everyone wants to see is you doing what you do and bugger everything else 👍
Wondered where you were Matey ! The samples sound worth a look. Got my nephew the Bentley one on your recommendation and he loved it, thank you. Would love something for the ladies next please, anything from the Middle East. I wish you well.
Good to see you dude 👍 last few months been a few spending hauls from me got a few frags which you probably won't believe I haven't owned before , IL send pics when last few arrive 👍👍 o yeah wolves and baggies not going good
I tried this one wasn’t my cuppa tea. Good review. You should should grab Armaf Futura La Homme it’s a clone of 2012 Dior Homme. Seriously good juice, back up bottle worthy.
its a clone of valentino uomo intense i get why some think its a clone of dior homme since VUI was inspired by DH and the iris is the most prominent note in both,when i first got the bottle of fuTura la homme i was instantly reminded of VUI and i already owned both VUI and DH.
Hey Barry,I came across this line about a week ago,was wondering what they were like. I seen one called Metropolis Rock by this brand supposed to be an inspiration of Bond #9, was wondering what your take on this?
I say it as I smell it, always have, have the same relationship with a few companies and have said I don’t like things before. What I will always do is explain what I don’t like but will also try and see what some people with different tastes to me might like or not.
Barry IV been hearing alot of good things about Al haramain detour noir it's a very good Parfums de Marley Layton clone was wondering if you thought of doing a review

Great to see you, Barry!

Really great the price please?
Arabia Silver Vetiver is Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. Excellent 👍
Forgive me for asking, but I must. How can we trust your objectivity when you are gifted a fragrance and have an ongoing relationship with LaurenJay?
I say it as I smell it, always have, have the same relationship with a few companies and have said I don’t like things before. What I will always do is explain what I don’t like but will also try and see what some people with different tastes to me might like or not.
Barry IV been hearing alot of good things about Al haramain detour noir it's a very good Parfums de Marley Layton clone was wondering if you thought of doing a review
I picked it up last week so will probably review it when I get chance, I have Layton and some other clones of it too, so can see what matches up best.
Where Have You Been I thought you dropped off the face of the Earth👍👍glad to see that you are ok.
Thanks mate, personal problems 🙏🏻👍🏻
Have you smell the Arabia Black Aromato version?
I haven’t, sorry
Good job pal.
How's Barry?
Good mate thanks
