What does Year of Zayed smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evening and night-out wear. The largest share of voters finds it masculine, though a good number call it classic.

Amber and tobacco open it, oud sits in the heart and sandalwood anchors the base. A sweet, spicy start settles into a resinous, woody body, while earthy, leathery and animalic touches stay in the background and give it a heavy, oriental character. Al Rehab Arooq Al Oud and Otoori Oud Afgano have a close profile.
