Mahd Al Dhahab

In everyday terms

Bergamot and spices over amber and patchouli with vanilla and sandalwood.

Bergamot

Bright, fresh citrus, like the zest of a lime with a soft floral edge

Spices

Warm kitchen spices, like a spice market

Lemon

Bright, fresh lemon, like a squeezed lemon

Amber

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

Patchouli

Earthy and dark, like damp soil in a forest

Agarwood

Deep, smoky oud, like the turare and bakhoor burned in Hausa homes during Sallah

Vanilla

Sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream or custard

Sandalwood

Creamy, smooth wood, like sandalwood soap

White Musk

Clean, like freshly washed clothes and baby powder

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
