What does Jabal Shams smell like?

The top is cypress, pink pepper and juniper, while fir balsam, black pepper, saffron and cardamom deepen the spice in the heart. The base holds amberwood, musk and oud, with papyrus and tonka bean softening the woods. The accords add green, earthy, smoky and leathery tones.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. It is recommended most for evenings, leisure and nights out, and less for office or daily wear. Amouage Epic Man and Montale Dark Aoud have a close profile.
