What does Al Qurashi Blend Quintessence (Perfume Oil) smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, and most voters give both high marks. The number of votes is small, so these figures are a tendency rather than a firm measure. It is unisex and sits equally well on men and women.

As a whole the scent is sweet, woody and oriental. Oud and sandalwood build a smoky, resinous and slightly leathery base, while amber pulls it towards a warm, creamy sweetness. Indian lemon adds a citrus brightness and lily of the valley a floral, powdery touch, with musk smoothing everything together. Spicy and earthy tones stay in the background.
