What does Hamsah smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter barely registers. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most mentioned settings. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. In character it reads mostly feminine, with classic and modern close behind.

African orange blossom opens the scent and jasmine forms the heart. The base holds honey, cedar, rose and patchouli. Honey sweetens it, while cedar and patchouli give the floral structure a woody footing. Swiss Arabian Jasmine and Honey and Anthony Hopkins AH have a close profile.
