Al Aneeq Fakhrul Oudh

Top notes are Saffron, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Nutmeg; middle notes are Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, Gurjan balsam, Patchouli, Jasmine and Cedar; base notes are Vanilla, Amber, Musk and Tonka Bean.

Leathery and oily ... just lightened with the vanilla, but absolutely remaining masculine. To my mind, this is a very clever oriental interpretation of '70s strength leather scents. Think Bvlgari Black ... but with a pair.
