What does Saudi Blend / Saudia Blend smell like?

It opens with spices, floral notes and geranium. In the heart, lily, rose and jasmine carry the floral side while patchouli and vanilla pull the scent towards something earthy and sweet. The base of oud, musk and woody notes leaves a resinous, faintly animal warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter close behind and summer well back. It is chosen most for evenings, then leisure and nights out. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. Its profile is close to Taif Al-Emarat UAE Oud and Hind Al Oud Sheikh A Special Edition.
