What does Aamal smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards night out and evening wear, and fewer see it as a business scent. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.

It opens with rose, bergamot, apple, cinnamon and cardamom, a fruity, spicy and sweet start. The heart brings patchouli, sandalwood, saffron and vanilla forward. In the base, oud, amber, frankincense and leather ground it in a woody, smoky foundation.
