Al Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Sport

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 orris root, moves through jasmine, musk and white cedar extract, and settles on amber, musk and white cedar extract.

• orris: iris root rather than the flower: cool, powdery and faintly earthy. One of the most expensive materials in perfumery
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

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.
