What does Habdan smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer gets very few votes. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with frankincense and saffron, giving a resinous, spicy start. In the heart, apple adds a fruity sweetness, which rose and oud settle onto a woody, smoky ground. The base of maltol, opoponax and amber closes it in a sweet, oriental warmth. Lattafa Opulent Oud and Swiss Arabian Kashkha (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
