Al Haramain Amber Oud

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on rosemary, bergamot and cedar, moves through spices, cedar and guaiac wood, and settles on resins, amber and musk.

• rosemary: sharp piney herb, cooling and slightly medicinal
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
