Nebulous

In everyday terms

Rose and saffron over agarwood and violet with amber and musk.

Rose

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Saffron

Warm and honey-like, a bit like the inside of a brand-new leather bag

Agarwood

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

Violet

Sweet and powdery, like old-school violet sweets

Amber

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

Musk

Clean skin, like fresh laundry

How it wears

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