What does Walimah (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with magnolia otto, champaca and magnolia absolute, a fresh floral start. In the heart, tobacco absolute, cinnamon, cocoa and saffron push it toward sweet spice, while Bengal oud and Siberian deer musk add an animalic depth. It dries down on Indonesian vetiver absolute, Peru balsam and labdanum, woody and balsamic.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and evening and night-out wear lead. It leans slightly masculine, though a sizeable share of voters call it feminine. Walimah II and Walimah Attar have a close profile.
