What does Zayed 2018 smell like?

It opens with saffron, bergamot and mandarin orange, a bright citrus sharpened by spice. In the heart, hedione, Turkish rose and violet add a soft floral note. The base is led by vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, moss and amber, while green, animal and earthy tones darken that woody ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads equally well on men and women, with a serious, grounded character. Boadicea the Victorious Dasman (Eau de Parfum) and Der Duft Pride have a close profile.
