What does Makkah smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind. Evenings, nights out and leisure time are where it is worn most, and voters lean towards reading it as feminine.

It opens with fresh notes, then strawberry, jasmine and orange blossom fill the heart. The base is led by powdery and balsamic notes, vanilla, musk and amber. Sweet, gourmand and resinous accords give it a soft, warm, oriental feel. Lattafa Ser Al Khulood Gold and Lattafa Ajwad have a close profile.
