What does Haibah smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong. Most voters pick winter and autumn, while summer gets few votes. Night out and evening are the leading occasions, with leisure wear next. Though unisex, it reads closer to masculine.

The top opens with peach, bergamot, saffron and ginger, fruity and spicy, over a darker line of leather and smoked wood. In the heart, Damask rose, jasmine and oud tie the floral side to a woody depth. The base settles into sandalwood, Indian oud, patchouli and musk, sweet, resinous and earthy.
