What does Khamsin smell like?

Saffron and orange blossom open with a spicy floral note, while jasmine sambac and date in the heart pull the scent towards fruity and sweet. In the base, benzoin adds a creamy softness and leather leaves a dry, woody shadow. The overall feel is oriental.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its rich, sweet build suits cooler weather and evenings best. Tomavicci Zenobia and Louis Vuitton Matière Noire have a close profile.
