Eau de Parfum

Ahmed Al Maghribi Oud & Roses / عود و روز Eau de Parfum pairs Turkish rose with oud in a floral, sweet and woody unisex scent. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and although few people have voted, the ratings agree. Value for money is also rated well. With no season or occasion votes, it is best not to tie it to a particular time; the rose, oud and amber at its core suit both men and women. The top holds peony, lavender, lemon and Turkish rose, with lemon and lavender lightening the opening. Sandalwood, white blossoms and frankincense form the heart. The base of musk, amber, oakmoss, oud and gaiac wood brings a spicy, earthy, oriental warmth.
