What does Al Sahra smell like?

It starts fresh and powdery, with mineral notes, salt and white violet. In the heart, Madagascan cinnamon and sea daffodil add a sweet, spicy warmth. The base of frankincense, patchouli, sandalwood and labdanum settles into a woody, resinous and slightly smoky finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Patchouly and Amouage Dia Man.
