A rich blend of dark rose and bakhoor-like patchouli, brightened by bergamot and grounded in a warm earthy base of amber, sandalwood, cedar, and oakmoss - deeply oriental, sensual, and unmistakably Arabian.

Despite its bold character, the rose and sandalwood combination gives it a genuinely unisex appeal that confident wearers of all genders will appreciate as a powerful evening signature.
