Nishane Hacivat Oud

Mostly dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on pineapple, citruses and black pepper, moves through frankincense, olibanum and jasmine, and settles on oud, patchouli and haitian vetiver.

• pineapple: sharp tropical sweetness with a slightly boozy edge
• citruses: a general citrus impression rather than any one fruit

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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