Shahrazad

In everyday terms

Saffron and cardamom over agarwood and guaiac wood with vanilla and cypriol.

Saffron

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

Cardamom

Cool, warm spice, like Arabian coffee or spiced tea

Agarwood

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

Guaiac Wood

Smoky, sweet wood

Vanilla

Sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream or custard

Cypriol

Earthy, smoky root, like dry wood smoke

How it wears

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