Nicely lit. I'm a little confused by the rocks; I know it
s conventional and probably stereotypical but I expect sand when I think of a natural element associated with Arabia. And that bracelet is scary! That perfume must be dangerous stuff.

I like the set-up of this photo, it's very interesting. The shinnier, the more eye-catching.

My eye was initially drawn to the bracelet(?) instead of the bottle. Don't like the reflection on the bottle stopper.

I don't think the bracelet adds anything to the photograph, if anything it takes away from your subject which is different and beautiful on it's own. I would have gone with something other than a solid colr for the background too. Great idea though!

The leaning to the left of both items is a bit distracting. Levels would have helped pop this better.

Reflections on the shiny parts distracting.

Would have been more effective had the bottle not been on an angle. Cool shot none the less.

Comp lends itself well to text placement. I 'm sure what's being sold as the product is prominantly displayed. I would've not left the bottle tilted.
