What does Mekka Kaaba smell like?

It opens with labdanum, frankincense and tonka bean, which set a resinous, sweet base. In the heart, oud, spices and Bulgarian rose come forward: the rose adds a floral touch, the spices add warmth. Cedarwood, patchouli, tobacco and amber round it off with a woody, oriental finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the votes are few, so treat those ratings with caution. It is unisex and suits those who like heavy, oriental scents. Its profile is close to Xerjoff Astaral and Arabian Oud Woody.
