What does Khanjar / خنجر smell like?

The top notes of ginger, pimento and nutmeg give a spicy, gently warming start. Cashmeran, patchouli and violet form the heart, and the base settles into frankincense, leather, musky notes and vetiver. Overall it reads spicy and woody, with resinous and leathery oriental depth, while the sweet and fresh sides stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind and summer trailing. It reads equally well on men and women. Câline Oud Extreme and Parfums de Marly Haltane have a close profile.
