Saffron and Madagascan nutmeg open with spice; oud and lavender take the heart, and patchouli and musk lay a warm base. A citrus touch lightens the opening, while the sweetness softens the woody core.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative picture. It is a rich scent that suits both men and women. Initio Oud for Greatness and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Royale have a close profile.
