Al Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Classic

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 bergamot and lemon, moves through cedar and gurjan balsam, and settles on amber, balsam fir and balsamic notes.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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