What does Dirham Gold smell like?

The top is orange blossom, black pepper, bergamot and lavender, which reads fresh, lightly spicy and floral. Marine notes and amber form the heart, and in the base amber joins vanilla and sweetens the whole. Woody and oriental touches are present, but the fresh side leads.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick winter, autumn and spring in equal measure, with summer trailing behind. Leisure, night out, daily wear and evening share the votes almost evenly. Lattafa Blue Oud and Lattafa Pride Tharwah Gold have a close profile.
