The top notes are basil, nutmeg, lime and cardamom, giving a fresh, spicy opening. In the heart, marine notes, saffron, orchid and ylang-ylang bring an aquatic feel softened by florals. The base of sea salt, sandalwood, ambergris and musk settles into a woody, slightly powdery tone, with the oriental and fruity sides staying in the background.
Fresh, floral and aquatic accords lead the character. Taif Al-Emarat Kuwait and Ministry of Oud Amber Oud have a close profile.
