Arabian Oud Khaiyyal is a masculine fragrance where citrus and green open onto spice, smoke and leather, with a woody, animalic character.

What does Khaiyyal smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated very strong, so it stays on the skin for a long time and carries well around you. The sample of votes is small, so take that as a first impression. It has a distinct, masculine presence.

Bergamot opens with a citrus freshness. In the heart, white saffron and pink pepper bring the spice forward, and in the base suede and oud pull the scent towards something smoky, resinous and leathery. Dunhill Arabian Desert and Parfums de Marly Shagya have a close profile.
