What does Al Andalus smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a few votes stand behind those ratings, so they are best taken as a first impression rather than a firm verdict. It suits men and women alike.
The top opens bright and fresh with vervain, neroli, yuzu, bitter orange and lemon. In the heart, geranium, lily of the valley and clary sage add a floral, green side, while Omani green frankincense and Mysore sandalwood bring a resinous, slightly smoky depth. The base settles on sandalwood, musk and oakmoss, giving it a woody footing.
