Roja Parfums Ahlam opens with lemon, then turns to May rose, jasmine and violet over vanilla, musk and powder: a floral-oriental scent for women that has been discontinued.

What does Ahlam smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, though a fair number choose winter. It leans towards evenings and nights out, with some room for daily and office wear. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.

After the fresh lemon opening, the heart turns floral with May rose, geranium, violet, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base settles into a sweet, powdery, creamy bed of vanilla, almond, musk and powder, while oud, saffron and sandalwood add a spicy, woody depth.
