What does Khalif smell like?

The scent stays in a sweet, gourmand register throughout. Honey and vanilla make a rounded, sugary base, while cinnamon adds a spicy warmth. Amber brings a resinous depth, and Laotian oud adds a woody weight that keeps the sweetness from turning sticky.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick it for evenings, leisure time and nights out, with daily and office wear further behind. It reads clearly masculine and suits those who like oriental, gourmand scents. Parfums de Marly Oajan and Guerlain Ambre Samar have a close profile.
