Al Haramain Rawaa

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on almond and coffee, moves through jasmine, tuberose and orris, and settles on cacao pod, vanilla and tonka bean.

• almond: sweet marzipan, sometimes with a cherry-like edge
• coffee: roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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