What does Alioth smell like?

Green pepper, Italian saffron, black pepper and cardamom open on a spicy note. In the heart, ylang-ylang and Bulgarian rose absolute add a soft floral touch, while patchouli and Greek cypriol bring an earthy, animal depth. In the base, Indian and Cambodian oud, musk, ambergris and Bourbon vanilla carry it into a sweet, resinous warmth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated very strong, so a light hand is enough. The dense character suits cooler weather and evening wear better. As a unisex scent, it sits evenly on both men and women. Taif Al-Emarat UAE Oud and Roja Parfums Amber Aoud (Parfum) have a close profile.
