What does Bakhoor smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer is barely mentioned. It is placed mostly in the evening and on nights out, with leisure wear close behind. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good; voters read it as mostly masculine, though it works as unisex.

It opens with oud, leather and saffron, spicy and smoky. The heart of Mysore sandalwood, Himalayan cedar and Haitian vetiver builds a woody body. In the base, ambergris, gaiac wood and white musk soften the oriental feel. Ard Al Zaafaran Oud Muataq and Montale Aoud Leather have a close profile.
