What does Aksum smell like?

Taif rose, jasmine sambac and tuberose form a floral frame, but it is read alongside the rough character of goatskin, hyraceum and dragon's blood. Spicy, earthy and leathery accords dominate, while oud and myrrh lay a woody, smoky ground.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. It suits those who like a dense, animal, oriental scent and does not lean to either gender. Prin Arsalan and L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh have a close profile.
