What does Durrat Al-Arabia for Men smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good; the sample is small, but most voters score both high. With no season or occasion votes, little can be said on that front, but the structure points to a dense, masculine scent.

It opens with ylang-ylang and jasmine, a floral first impression. In the heart, coriander and labdanum bring spice and resin. The base of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli and musk settles into a sweet, warm and smoky foundation.
