Swiss Arabian, another great brand from Dubai, which sells its fragrances below value in my opinion.

There is a synthetic apple-caramel on my first smell test which I found offensive only because of how many people seem to love this. Then, at some point, my fragrance journey began, and in the meantime I don't see it that closely anymore. My brother's signature scent is Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss, and I always thought that was very sweet, almost perfume-y. I was a little disappointed because of that, not because I don't like the scent, it smells very pleasant at the said gentleman, but he is nothing for me.While Casablanca is a sweet and syrupy apple pie with caramel drizzle (juicy apple and sweet caramel dominant), which I prefer 100%.

Longevity fades around the 7 hr mark and it goes to a skin scent, but this fragrance is so juicy and yummy! but could be sweetened up with something else; maybe Vanilla 28, Hundred Silent Ways, or Cheriosa 62 or 71 (not sure which, I haven't tried yet, but they both have caramel). Inara oud is gorgeous, but doesn't last on me more than 3h (after that time it's a very oudy vanilla skin scent for another hour) and it looks it's the same with Casablanca.

Even if you dislike patchouli it’s light enough that i wouldn’t necessarily pinpoint it unless I read the notes. I really have to be in the right mood to wear GG, but in contrast, I feel like I could definitely wear Casablanca on a more regular basis. The lily notes of the fragrance are evident in the middle notes, adding a velvety softness that contrasts beautifully with the intense florals. The scent lasts (at least recognizably to me) for about 10 hours before fading out of much recognition. I've tried so hard to like this one as I love the idea of it and the bottle's lovely but I'm going to have to pass it on.
