Lattafa Badee Al Oud For Glory

Mostly dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on saffron, nutmeg and lavender, moves through agarwood (oud) and patchouli, and settles on agarwood (oud), patchouli and musk.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• nutmeg: warm dusty spice, dry rather than sweet

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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