What does Ishraaq smell like?

Indian, Indonesian and Malayan oud sit alongside plain oud at its core, with cedar and vetiver giving a woody base. Cinnamon, saffron, cardamom and clove carry the spice, while rose and ylang-ylang soften it with a floral touch. Leather, Cuban cigar and animalic musk add a smoky, wild edge, and frankincense, myrrh and ambergris bring a sweet, resinous warmth. Its accords run sweet, spicy, woody, oriental, animal and smoky. Widian Limited 71 - 2022 Edition and Zoologist Camel have a close profile.
