What does Sha'ari smell like?

It opens with juniper, saffron and pink pepper for spice, while berries add a slight tartness. Rose and orris root bring a soft floral touch in the heart. The base of oud, sandalwood, vanilla and leather dries down sweet over a resinous, smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Lattafa Qaa'ed and Khadlaj Wow Oud have a close profile.
