Al Areeq Gold

In everyday terms

Saffron and black tea over incense and suede with amberwood and vanilla.

Saffron

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

Black Tea

Dry, slightly smoky tea leaves, like a fresh cup of Lipton

Incense

Smoky and spiritual, like church incense at Mass

Suede

Soft and velvety, like new suede shoes

Amberwood

Burnt sugar and warm wood, like the edge of caramelised puff-puff

Vanilla

Sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream or custard

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.
