What does Arabian Wood smell like?

Bergamot, galbanum and lavender give the top a fresh edge, while Bulgarian rose and orange blossom start the floral side. In the heart, jasmine, honey and rose absolute bring out the sweetness, and the base of patchouli, cedar, sandalwood and tonka bean settles it onto a woody, earthy footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind and summer well back. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and most voters find it masculine. El Nabil Amber of Yemen and Téo Cabanel Alahine have a close profile.
