Very sweet, classy, warm boozy, beautiful amber vanilla blend, although vanilla is not very prominent to my nose. Unisex but more feminine leaning.
My full opinion: If you're like me and love sweet fragrances, this one is an obvious purchase. I must say however, that this is the sweetest fragrance in my collection without a doubt... and my collection includes Arabians Tonka, Le Male Elixir, and Al Haramain Ruby Edition. Sweet, classy, luxurious, slightly more feminine leaning even though it's a unisex scent. I wouldn't care, I would still wear it for dinner nights.
I've heard reviewers talking about the boozyness of Khamrah, and they are right, however it is not overpowering, it is done in a subtle way, enough to compliment the stronger cinnamon and bergamot notes in the opening, while creating an incredibly warm and comforting blend with vanilla in its drydown.
As for its drydown, I didn't pick up too much development in this scent. This is not a bad thing, I absolutely love the opening note and would gladly smell that the whole way through. Spray it twice on your hand, let it dry for 2 minutes... the smell you get from that moment doesn't change very much until about the 5-6 hour mark. At this point you get more of the boozy vanilla scent which pokes out just enough for you to notice. Other than that, this is a pretty linear fragrance.
Performance may change as it matures over time. Right out the box however, I am getting incredibly good longevity, easily over 8 hours. I sprayed twice on my forearm and went about my day. By the 7 hour mark I could still smell it prominently off my skin although it was not projection very loudly at this point. The part which impressed me was that after an hour and a half's workout and tons of sweat that should have washed away most of the smell... it lingered on my skin very distinctly.
In terms of Projection, it is not bad. I'd rate it a 7-8/10 in this area. Similar rating for its sillage. This is NOT a room filler beastmode fragrance like Arabians Tonka for instance, it is more of a car filler scent which is perfectly fine, different scents have different situations to be used in.
