What does Raghba Wood Intense smell like?

The top notes are gaiac wood, cedar, caramel and liquorice, a sweet opening laid over a woody frame. In the heart, oud, sugar, sandalwood and cashmere wood come forward, while amber, vanilla and frankincense in the base give a warm, resinous finish. The overall impression is spicy, sweet and slightly smoky.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out. It mostly reads as masculine and classic. Lattafa Raghba Classic and Orientica Sublime Oudh have a close profile.
