Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on saffron, moves through jasmine, and settles on ambergris, musk and white cedar extract.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• 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 well and carries into a room.

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