Qaa'ed Al Shabaab

In everyday terms

Osmanthus and ylang-ylang over leather and cedar with agarwood and amber.

Osmanthus

Apricot-like flowers with a soft leathery hint

Ylang-Ylang

Sweet, creamy, banana-like flowers

Leather

Rich and smoky, like new leather shoes from Aba

Cedar

Freshly planed wood at a carpenter's workshop

Agarwood

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

Amber

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

How it wears

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