Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyukh

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on agarwood (oud) and cedar, moves through sage, lavender and rosemary, and settles on patchouli and vetiver.

• oud: dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses
• cedar: dry, clean wood, closest to freshly sharpened pencil shavings

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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