What does Arabian Diamond smell like?
Aniseed and bergamot make a bright start. In the heart, rose, geranium, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley give a floral face, while oud adds a resinous depth. The base of sandalwood, cedar, amber and musk settles into a warm, woody, oriental finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick evening and night out, with leisure close behind, so it leans towards the later hours of the day. It reads masculine.
