What does 3.1 Arabian Horse smell like?

Narcissus absolute and wild flowers sit beside the green feel of grass and plant juice. Amber and labdanum absolute sweeten it with a resinous warmth, while leather, animalic musk and horsehair add an earthy, leathery edge. The notes aren't split into layers, so it reads as one piece from start to finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring isn't far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Masculine and feminine votes run close, which fits a truly unisex profile. Montale Nepal Aoud and Nishane Shem have a close profile.
