What does Ziryab smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though few people have rated it, so these figures are only a tendency. It suits men and women alike, with a heavy, spiced build.

Tulip opens on a floral, green note. In the heart, saffron, oud and Atlas cedar form a spicy, earthy and woody body, which amber softens at the base. A powdery texture and a slightly synthetic sheen run through it. Montale Aoud Safran and Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Red Saffron have a close profile.
