What does Arqa Shay smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as very strong, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It is dense and assertive, and reads as suitable on both men and women.

Labdanum opens it, vanilla sits in the heart, and amber and oud form the base. The vanilla brings the sweetness and creamy texture, spicy and leathery touches sharpen it, and an oriental warmth runs through the whole. Givenchy Ambre Tigré and Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud have a close profile.
