What does Taaj Al Raas smell like?

Saffron, frankincense and cumin give it a spicy, resinous start. In the heart, gaiac wood, patchouli and cedarwood build a woody, smoky base, and amber and musk in the dry-down soften it into a warm, slightly animalic oriental feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall, winter and spring, and few pick summer. It is placed mostly in the evening and night-out slots. Most voters find it masculine, though a share read it as feminine. Its profile is close to Farmacia SS. Annunziata Whisky Oud and Al Haramain Black Oudh.
