What does Qaed Al Fursan smell like?

The top notes of saffron and pineapple give a citrusy, fruity and spicy first impression. In the heart, fir balsam and jasmine pull that freshness towards green and floral. The base of amber, oud and cedarwood settles into a sweet, woody, oriental ground with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall next and winter well behind. Leisure and daily wear lead, though business and night-out use also get votes. Most voters read it as masculine and modern.
