Ashlemah is a powdery-violet fragrance that performs well for some but suffers from a common issue: ionones (the main aromachemicals in violet) cause rapid temporary anosmia in many people, making the scent fade quickly or be undetectable. Performance varies significantly based on individual anosmia susceptibility to violet aromachemicals.

Chergui is a well-crafted but divisive fragrance with a distinctive powdery tobacco profile that appeals strongly to its admirers but isn't universally loved. The community consensus leans positive overall, though most agree it's not a safe blind buy given its niche character and high price point, recommending sampling first, especially if coming from different fragrance families like Ambre Sultan.
