Al Haramain Amber Oud Ultra Violet

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on ginger, rose and bergamot, moves through tuberose, jasmine and white flowers, and settles on oak, patchouli and musk.

• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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