What does Al Hayvaan (Elixir) smell like?

The scent runs along spicy, woody and earthy lines. Somalian hyraceum, Indian civet and Siberian castoreum build the animalic base, while Assam oud and Crete labdanum add a resinous weight. Kashmiri saffron absolute and Indian cinnamon bring the spice, and Bourbon vanilla absolute and cocoa absolute soften the harder edges.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is worn for leisure time, evenings and nights out. It sits equally well on men and women, a heavy, bold scent. Duftkumpels Ambre Oud Royale and Areej Le Doré Al Oud have a close profile.
