What does United Arab Emirates / الإمارات العربية المتحدة smell like?

It opens with bergamot and artemisia. In the heart, May rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang form a floral layer, with clove adding spice. The base of oud, labdanum, frankincense and benzoin brings a resinous, smoky and sweet warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions named most often. More voters read it as masculine than feminine, though it is unisex. Roja Parfums Taif Aoud and Pierre de Velay The Oud have a close profile.
