What does Shaal Nur smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and its use is spread across daily wear through to evenings. Opinion on whether it reads feminine or masculine is almost evenly split.

It opens with blackcurrant bud, bergamot, lemon and grapefruit, while petitgrain, pink pepper, orange blossom and rose lead the heart. In the base, vetiver, patchouli, frankincense and cedarwood build a dry, smoky foundation. Al Haramain Floral Sculpture and Clive Christian L for Men have a close profile.
