What does Bab Sharif smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are still tentative. It reads as unisex, and its dense, heavy build suits cooler weather best.

It opens spicy with clove, cinnamon, saffron and cardamom. In the heart, Taif rose, white rose and jasmine form a floral core, which frankincense and date sweeten. The base of Cambodian oud, myrrh, amber and vanilla leaves a wide, creamy, woody trail.
