OrientalWhat does Shams Al-Doha smell like?
Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though this rests on a small number of votes. It is classed as a women's fragrance.
The scent starts fresh and floral: jasmine and Damask rose lead, softened by musk. In the heart, amber, saffron and Bulgarian rose add sweetness and spice. It settles on a woody, oriental base of sandalwood and Cambodian oud.
