What does Khamsin smell like?

Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is chosen mainly for leisure time and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though those ratings rest on few votes. Most voters read it as feminine, yet it keeps a unisex feel.

It opens with Italian bergamot and Italian lemon for a fresh citrus lift. Rose, jasmine and white narcissus give the heart a soft floral body. In the base, saffron, sandalwood, oud and Asian lily settle it into a spicy, resinous, creamy warmth.
