What does Oud Al Sahraa smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters point to fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, though evening and business get votes too. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits in the middle on gender. It has been discontinued.

Italian mandarin orange brings the freshness at the top. Namibian myrrh adds a soft, resinous heart, and Malayan oud carries the woody, smoky base. Sweet, spicy and oriental accents run through it as well. Ensar Oud Kelantan and Agar Aura Kelantan have a close profile.
