What does Shaghaf Oud Elixir smell like?

It opens with saffron, oud and pink pepper, warm and spicy from the first spray. In the heart, praliné and rose bring sweetness while sage and oud keep it grounded in wood. The base of amber, vanilla and musk turns creamy and gourmand, with oud still present underneath.

Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It leans masculine in how it reads, though it also gets feminine votes. Zimaya Noor Oud and Arabian Oud Resala have a close profile.
