SmokyWhat does Al Bahar smell like?
Its sillage is rated good, and most voters describe a strong trail, though the number of votes is small, so this impression is tentative. As a unisex scent it suits both men and women.
Papua, Vietnamese, Hongkong, Indonesian, Thai, Sumatran and Malayan oud form the backbone. Salty notes, kelp and yuzu lighten that heavy oud and add a green freshness. Sage, black cardamom, beeswax and Mysore sandalwood gather it into a smoky base with an animal, creamy softness.
