Hope

In everyday terms

Pink pepper and juniper over oud and vetiver with amber and leather.

Pink Pepper

Light, fruity pepper with a gentle sparkle

Juniper

Sharp, piney berries, like the smell of gin

Oud

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

Vetiver

Earthy, rooty grass, like wet soil after rain

Smoke

Dry, burnt and smoky, like a wood fire burning outside

Amber

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

Leather

Rich and smoky, like new leather shoes from Aba

How it wears

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