Al Haramain Junoon – Arabian Perfume for Women – Long Lasting Perfume for Women – Floral Fragrances – Eau de Parfum for Women – 2.5 oz

A hidden gem
I had heard amazing things about this fragrance for a while but was hesitant to take the plunge. As anyone who indulges in blind buying knows, it’s a gamble that can often lead to disappointment. However, after much deliberation, I decided to go for it and ordered the full bottle—and let me tell you, it completely exceeded my expectations. This fragrance is stunningly beautiful, almost ethereal in its composition.As a devoted fan of Dama Bianca (a fragrance I personally consider a masterpiece), I was initially skeptical about meeting its supposed sister/cousin. To my delight, Junoon Noir holds its own. It’s not a 1:1 dupe of Dama Bianca, but they’re remarkably close. Upon researching, I discovered their notes differ by just one—Junoon Noir features an additional malt note. Despite this small difference, their similarities are undeniable. Both have a sweet, rosy profile, though Junoon leans slightly sweeter.Packaging:The bottle itself is as elegant as the fragrance inside. Its sleek and minimal design gives it a luxurious feel, making it a beautiful addition to any vanity or collection. The weight and detail of the bottle also hint at quality far beyond its price point.Performance (Sillage, Longevity, and Projection):Junoon Noir delivers moderate performance on my skin. While it doesn’t fall into the “beast mode” category for me, others have claimed otherwise. Its projection sits at about arm’s length, which is perfect for those who prefer their fragrance to make a gentle but noticeable statement rather than announcing itself from across the room. When I compared it directly with Dama Bianca, Junoon slightly edged it out in both sillage and longevity—and at such an accessible price point, it is hard to resist.Fragrance Evolution:From the first spray, Junoon Noir opens with a sweet, rosy profile reminiscent of Dama Bianca, but as it dries down, the malt note begins to shine. This gives the fragrance a smooth and slightly creamy depth, making it feel unique even alongside its more famous counterpart. The sweetness softens over time, leaving behind an elegant, warm finish.Who Might Like This:Junoon Noir is perfect for anyone who loves soft, sweet florals with an elegant, feminine touch. Whether you’re just starting your fragrance journey, exploring Middle Eastern scents, or already have an extensive collection, this fragrance has something to offer. It’s versatile enough for both seasoned collectors and newcomers.Value and Versatility:Junoon Noir is an incredible value for what it offers. Its quality, performance, and similarity to high-end fragrances make it a standout in its price range. It transitions effortlessly between day and night and works across seasons. I see this as a versatile choice for a variety of occasions—date nights, workdays (with a light touch), casual outings, or even special events.

Just go ahead and buy this!
I have previously been buying Julianna’s Perfumes Dama Bianca dupe, Beautiful Bella. It’s $69 for 1.7 ounces and I love it. Lasts all day. But this one—is even better! It’s 2.5 ounces, which is a TON–and it smells incredible. It’s just gorgeous. I was skeptical but finally gave in and tried it. I’m so glad I did! If you like sweet, powdery scents–you will love this! It smells like candied violets and magical fairies!Also, get the Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia body cream! It smells similar and lasts all day. With the two combined, you will smell AMAZING! (Bom Dia smells almost exactly like 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods)Lastly, I finally bought a decant of Dama Bianca and was shocked to discover I do not like it. It has this weird note that reminds of Gentle Fluidity Gold, which I also do not like.Junoon Noir (and Beautiful Bella) are so much better, in my opinion. Sweet, powdery vanilla.

Lovely scent
I love this scent

Not for me I guess
I have never smelled Dama Bianca but seems as if I would like the notes and heard this was a great show for the scent. Sometimes I will buy dupes of perfumes but mostly I purchase samples if I can’t smell in the store. I blind bought this based on reviews and all of the hype but not sure of the hype. This is a soft scent that has a bug spray kind of smell to me. I have now ordered a sample of Dama Bianca to see if they even smell similar. I did test on a scent strip and then my wrist to see if the smell would change on skin. It did not change nor did it have longevity. Within an hour, I no longer smelled on my wrist. I will let this macerate for a month or so but believe that this was a waste of money and a scent not for me. The price wasn’t bad so guess I just lost this one.

ما حبيته نهائي..ريحته حاده وغريبه ..اعطيته بنتي

Haltbarkeit und sillage um die 10 std!Das Parfüm ist sehr sehr pudrig aber ich habe mich in diesen Duft verliebt , es ist so elegant gibt mir vintage vibe!Werde mir diesen Duft definitiv wieder kaufen!!Die Flasche ist zudem hochwertig und von der Optik passt sie zu dem Duft 😍

This isn’t a like for me- it’s a love! Smells like the OG Nivea Creme in the blue tin from the 80’s. Projection and longevity is crazy good.
