Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on caramel, licorice and guaiac wood, moves through agarwood (oud), sugar and sandalwood, and settles on incense, vanilla and amber.

• caramel: burnt sugar, sticky and rich
• licorice: sweet aniseed, cooling and slightly salty

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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