Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Eau de Parfum

Al Haramain Khulasat Al Oud Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent that sets a smoky, leathery oriental shade over citrus and floral notes. It opens with sweet notes, rose and fresh notes. The heart brings in citrus, leather, smoky and woody notes, while the spicy and earthy accords deepen it without making it harsh. In the base, labdanum, musky notes and amber soften it and turn it sweeter. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Most voters pick winter, fall and spring, with summer a minority choice. It is chosen most often for evenings, and daily wear comes close behind.
