What does Barrad smell like?

The top is bergamot, lavender, lemon and pineapple, so citrus and fruit come first. Lily and rose form the heart, and musk, sandalwood and ambergris sit in the base. Fresh, aquatic and green accords dominate, with a woody, resinous warmth behind them.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a few people have voted, so treat that with some caution. The fresh character suits warm weather, while the woody, ambergris base lets it carry into cooler days too. It reads as unisex. Armaf Le Parfait pour Homme and Rasasi Al Wisam Day have a close profile.
