A gorgeous rose/oud
If you were to call this fragrance a 'rose-oud' combo, you would not be telling the full story. This has perhaps the most realistic rose I have smelt in a a fragrance at this price range. It shares a similar airy vibe with the roses that Al Haramain perfumes tend to be built around.
The rose was accompanied by white flowers in the opening but that quickly faded into a light saffron note that blends so beautifully with the rose. And the entrance of that gorgeous, warm, light, sweet cambodian oud gives a definite middle eastern backing. The oud becomes more prominent in the mid, it is at this point that you could mistake this for a mere rose-oud combination.
This fragrance doesn't project, but its sillage and longevity make up for not being a 'smell me before you see me' fragrance.
I used to adore the cambodian oud dominated dry down with its wafts of sweet incense and musk, but somewhere along the line the oud became more animalic to my nose until I couldn't quite appreciate the dry down any longer on my skin.
However on clothing, the oud remains sweet, white flowers, rose and musk dominate.
Even after washing the clothing you sprayed this perfume on, you will still be able to sniff the rose and musk. This is why the fragrance is much more than a rose-oud combination.
In addition, it is unisex.
