What does Kohl / كحل smell like?
It opens sharp and boozy with pepper, ink and rum. In the heart, apricot and peony bring a floral, fruity softness, while frankincense and cedar build a resinous, woody base. A gourmand sweetness sits alongside smoky, leathery and animal touches.
Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though with few votes so far, so treat that as a first impression. It suits anyone who likes a sweet, spicy character, regardless of gender.
