What does Arabians smell like?

Cardamom and red thyme carry the spice, while leather and Malayan oud give the smoky, woody side. Rose and lavender soften that hard texture with a floral touch, and patchouli and vetiver add an earthy depth. Musk and ambergris keep the sweetness in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads mostly masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Montale Pure Love and Lattafa Maahir have a close profile.
