What does Ra'ed Absolu smell like?

The top notes are saffron, pink pepper and bergamot, so spice and citrus meet in a bright start. In the heart, jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch. The base of patchouli, sandalwood, amber, musk and vanilla grounds it in a sweet, woody, warm finish.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not yet settled. It sits comfortably on men and women alike. Arabian Oud Amiri and Ahmed Al Maghribi Amiri have a close profile.
