Lattafa Qaaed

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge.

It opens on cinnamon, cardamom and bergamot, moves through saffron, sandalwood and cedar, and settles on agarwood (oud), vanilla and leather.

• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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