What does Kuwait smell like?

It opens with rosemary, cardamom and pearl, and the aquatic and fresh accords keep that start light. In the heart, jasmine, saffron and tonka bean soften the floral and spicy tones. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, oud and amber settles into a woody, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Voters lean towards autumn and spring, and towards leisure and nights out. Most voters read its character as masculine, with classic and modern votes as well. Benchaâbane Les Jardins de Shérazade and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Mage d'Orient have a close profile.
