What does The Conqueror of UAE smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as very strong; the vote count is small, but the picture is clear. It leaves a lasting trail around the wearer, so a light hand with the sprays makes sense. It reads as unisex, suiting men and women alike.

The notes read as one whole: amber, leather, oud, tobacco and Omani frankincense lay a resinous, leathery and smoky base. Bourbon vanilla and sandalwood sweeten and soften it, while Italian iris adds a powdery touch. Green apple and Bulgarian rose otto bring a fruity and floral side line. Its profile is close to Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale and Guerlain Cuir Intense.
