What does Dahab smell like?

Bergamot and Granny Smith apple give it a crisp start. In the heart, coriander seed, passion fruit and cedar sit together, mixing spice, fruit and a dry woody edge. In the base, musk, patchouli and amber sweeten and soften the scent, and the oriental side takes over.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though it also wears comfortably in summer. It is favoured for nights out, evenings and leisure time, and most voters find it feminine. Anfas Salam and Reem Acra Reem Acra have a close profile.
