What does Hayba smell like?

It opens with rose, nutmeg, saffron and lily of the valley, so spice and flower arrive together. In the heart, amber, cypriol and patchouli darken the scent, and the base of musk, sandalwood, cedarwood and gaiac wood adds a dry, woody depth. The overall impression is sweet, gourmand, resinous and oriental.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and voters like it and find it good value, though the number of votes is small. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Perfumes with a close profile include M. Micallef Aoud Gourmet and Initio Oud for Greatness (Eau de Parfum).
