What does Ghazal smell like?
Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters read it as masculine, though it wears as unisex.
Built from frankincense, Lebanon cedar, ambergris and Mysore sandalwood, it has a woody, spicy character as a whole. The resinous and smoky side leads, with earthy and animal tones adding depth. Serge Lutens Serge noire and Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea have a close profile.
