by Alghabra Parfums
Poem of Damas by Alghabra Parfums is a rich, deeply layered rose-oud fragrance with a dominant sweet fruity and amber heart, supported by warm, earthy undertones and a dark, brooding oud base. The opening features a bright, honeyed fruit note—pear, melon, or peach—melded with a velvety rose and a warm, gilded amber that creates an immediately romantic, luxurious feel. The oud here is not sharp or medicinal; it's deep and masculine in tone, forming the backbone without dominating. The drydown reveals a mature, sensual scent with complex layers of musky warmth and earthy depth, projected with strong, cinematic sillage. It performs exceptionally well—long-lasting and notably potent in projection—making it ideal for cooler weather, particularly winter, and for evening wear. Numerous users compare it to Mancera Rose Vanille and Xerjoff More Than Words, noting its fruit-forward, sweet, and oriental character but emphasizing its heavier, more dense profile in comparison.
