What does Shaghaf Oud Royale smell like?

Saffron and lavender open with a spicy note, then oud and nutmeg take over the heart. Patchouli and musk finish it with an earthy, resinous warmth, so the overall impression is sweet, woody and a little smoky.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, so a few sprays may be enough. Most voters pick winter and autumn, and night-out and evening wear lead the occasions. Voters tend to read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex.
