Arabiyat Prestige Ramad Eau de Parfum 100 ml is an aromatic spicy unisex fragrance with a distinctly masculine character, surprisingly combining cooling citrus freshness with warm tobacco, spices and amber sweetness. It begins light and energetic, but gradually develops into something much deeper, warmer and more sensual.

In the opening, sparkling lemon meets bittersweet bitter orange and fresh spearmint. Aromatic cardamom warms this citrus-mint combination and hints at the fragrance’s spicy character from the very first moments. The freshness therefore feels neither sporty nor distinctly summery – it has a pronounced aromatic and piquant undertone.

As the citrus notes recede, Ramad begins to change in the heart. Lavender and clary sage bring herbal clarity, gradually surrounded by warm nutmeg and cinnamon. This part creates a natural transition between the cooling opening and the much fuller base.

The fragrance gains its strongest character in the drydown. Tobacco comes to the forefront in a softer, subtly sweet form rather than as a sharp smoky note. Tonka bean adds gentle creamy sweetness, amber brings warmth and cedarwood provides a dry woody structure. The result is a pleasantly smooth tobacco drydown that still retains an echo of aromatic spices.

In character, Arabiyat Prestige Ramad is reminiscent of Xerjoff Naxos. Both fragrances work with the contrast between aromatic freshness, spices and a sweeter tobacco base, but Ramad places greater emphasis on cardamom, minty freshness and spicy notes and does not feel as honeyed or sweet.

Tobacco can be considered the most prominent note, defining the character of the fragrance particularly in its later stages. Cardamom, cinnamon and aromatic herbs, however, give it a much livelier framework than that found in classic sweet tobacco fragrances. Ramad performs best in cooler weather, during autumn and winter days or in the evening, when its spicy tobacco base can fully develop.
