What does Nawaf smell like?

It is rated as strong in longevity and good in sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Most see it as masculine and classic.

It opens with oud and saffron, spicy and resinous. In the heart, musk, amber and sandalwood soften and sweeten it. The base of leather and tobacco leaves a smoky, leathery trail. Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud and Lattafa Qaa'ed have a close profile.
