The r/fragrance community strongly dislikes Rifaaqat and similar Paris Corner fragrances, citing excessive synthetic aroma chemicals that create unpleasant, industrial, or body odor-like smells. Many users report sensitivity to specific aromachemicals like Amber Xtreme and aggressive musks commonly found in Middle Eastern-style perfumes. While longevity is strong, the overall consensus is that these fragrances prioritize performance metrics over actual pleasant scent quality.
