What does Hayat smell like?

It opens with coffee bean and almond, and the heart of caramel, brown sugar and tonka bean softens and sweetens it. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and amber sets a woody, resinous ground. There is a spicy and synthetic edge among its accords too.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these values are tentative. It suits men and women alike, especially those who enjoy sweet, gourmand fragrances. Zaurac by Spirit of Kings and Goldlack by Harry Lehmann have a close profile.
