What does Al-Arabiya (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Bakhoor, frankincense and oud lead the composition, while saffron and coffee add a spicy, earthy warmth. Jasmine and henna wrap that heavy core in a creamy softness, and the oriental character is balanced by woody, leathery and slightly animalic touches.

Most voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Autumn and winter are the favoured seasons, and summer is rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, with office wear in the background. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex. Dior Purple Oud and Le Labo Oud 27 have a close profile.
