The review
On paper, The Sheikh is a strong bet if you want Arabians Tonka for less.
Bujairami sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Arabians Tonka's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 it costs 83% less than Arabians Tonka.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Bujairami publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on saffron and bergamot, turns to oud and Bulgarian Rose, and settles into Tonka Bean, sugar cane and amber. That is the brief The Sheikh is working from.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- oud
- Bulgarian Rose
Base
- Tonka Bean
- sugar cane
- amber
For the one who wants a nuclear-projecting sweet tonka-and-saffron blend over rose and oud, warm, gourmand and impossible to ignore in any room.
