What does Durra smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated very strong. Voters lean towards autumn, then spring and winter, and pick it for leisure, nights out and evenings. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic or modern.

The top is bright with lemon, grapefruit, bergamot and ozonic notes. Honey, jasmine, saffron and oud come through in the heart. Tobacco, amber and leather settle into a sweet, warm base. The Spirit of Dubai Abjar and Nabeel Al Bashiq have a close profile.
