I've tried every Jawhara perfume – but there's one fragrance I can't stop wearing

I'm a bit of a perfume addict, so when I had the chance to try every fragrance in the Jawhara collection, I couldn't wait to put them to the test. Each one has its own personality, from fresh and floral to rich and woody, but there was one fragrance that stood out from the very first spray and quickly became my favourite Jawhara Sweet Dates.

The first thing I noticed was the beautiful opening. The combination of creamy vanilla and juicy raspberry is sweet without being sickly, giving it a bright, fruity start that instantly makes you want to keep smelling your wrist. After a few minutes, the date accord begins to come through, adding a rich, almost syrupy warmth that gives the fragrance a really unique twist. It feels indulgent and expensive, while the patchouli stops it from becoming overly sugary.

As it settles on the skin, the caramelised amber and cedarwood create a smooth, velvety finish that lasts for hours. This is the stage I loved the most. It becomes warm, cosy and slightly creamy, making it the kind of fragrance you want to wear every day but that also feels special enough for evenings out or date nights.

Out of every perfume I tested in the Jawhara range, this was the one I found myself reaching for time and time again. It's comforting, feminine without being overly floral, and has that luxurious Middle Eastern-inspired richness that makes it smell far more expensive than you might expect.

One thing people often ask me is how I get my perfume to last from morning until night, and my favourite trick is layering it. Instead of just spraying it once before I leave the house, I spray across my neck and chest and then one spray on each arm. I let it dry naturally before repeating the process a second time.

Finally, I finish with a light spritz over my hair. It might sound like a lot, but I find this technique helps the fragrance cling to different areas without becoming overpowering. It's honestly the best way I've found to make a perfume last all day, and it's usually what earns me those "you smell incredible" compliments.

Overall, if I had to choose just one fragrance from the Jawhara collection, Sweet Dates would be it without hesitation. It has everything I look for in a perfume it's sweet, warm, comforting and luxurious, with enough depth to stop it feeling overly sugary.
