Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so expect neither a scent that vanishes on the skin nor one that fills the room. These ratings rest on few votes, so treat them as a rough guide.
It opens with apple and bergamot, a fresh, lightly sweet start. In the heart, jasmine, ylang-ylang and frangipani carry the floral side. The base of musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla settles into a creamy, sweet woodiness, with cedarwood backing up the wood. Its profile is close to Al Haramain Classic and Anfas Salam.
