What does Tafir (Extrait) smell like?

It opens bright and spicy with red mandarin orange, saffron and cardamom. In the heart, Omani frankincense, dried fruits and tobacco absolute take the lead, while tolu balm and balsam fir add a resinous, slightly sharp edge. The base of tonka bean, Indian sandalwood and musk sweetens and softens it, leaving a fruity, creamy, woody impression.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. It reads as masculine, and its concentrated build keeps it noticeable through the day. Avapari Pure Amber and Al Haramain Platinum Oud have a close profile.
