What does Akaba smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the ratings come from only a few voters, so they are a guide rather than a verdict. It reads as unisex and suits those who like heavy, woody fragrances.

It begins fresh and slightly bitter with mugwort, patchouli and lemon. In the heart, Mysore sandalwood, oud and cedarwood build the woody body. The base of vanilla, Tonkin musk and tobacco adds a sweet, smoky floor, with spicy, resinous and animal accords running through the warmth. Al Haramain Oudh Patchouli and Tiziana Terenzi Ursa have a close profile.
