What does Al Ibdaa for Men smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, with scores in the upper-middle range, though the small number of votes makes these a rough guide rather than a firm verdict. Value for money is rated highly. It is presented as a men's scent.

The opening brings lavender, pineapple, apple, geranium and bergamot together into a citrusy, aquatic, fruity freshness. In the heart, orchid, jasmine, lily of the valley, patchouli and cedarwood add a floral and woody softness. The base of ambrette, oakmoss, musk and amber closes it with a sweet, oriental warmth. A synthetic side also shows among the accords.
