What does Asrar smell like?

It is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is mostly worn in the evening or on a night out, though leisure and office wear get votes too. It reads somewhat more masculine than feminine, with a sizeable share calling it feminine.

Spices and saffron lead the top. Vanilla and ambergris in the heart sweeten it and add a creamy softness. The base of oud, sandalwood and moss leaves a woody, resinous, earthy depth, with an animal edge staying in the background.
