What does Scent Stories Vol.1/Ch.09 - Dahab (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen more often for evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair number of voters call it feminine.

It opens with lime, cinnamon, saffron, galbanum and nutmeg, a sharp, spiced start. The heart of cypress, benzoin, geranium and frankincense adds a resinous frame. The base of musk, amber, oud and cedarwood settles into a woody, smoky, slightly leathery character. Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud and Lattafa Anfas Oud have a close profile.
