What does Al Kaaba smell like?

Sandalwood, cedarwood and patchouli lay a woody base, while honey and vanilla sweeten it and give it a creamy softness. Carnation adds a floral, spicy touch, and musk brings an animal warmth. There is a fresh side among the accords, but the sweet, oriental character weighs heaviest.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone who wants a rich, dense scent. Its profile is close to Chabaud Ambre du Rêve and Initio Rehab.
