What does Al Hobb Al Abady smell like?

The opening is fresh, led by bergamot and citrus notes. The heart is floral, with rosewood, jasmine, ylang-ylang and cyclamen, and the accords add sweet, spicy and powdery sides to the fresh and citrus ones. The base of vanilla, cedarwood and musk softens everything into a woody, oriental finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Voters pick it most for daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and night out further behind. Acqua di Portofino Borgo and Dior Dune have a close profile.
