1 Million Golden Oud

In everyday terms

Saffron, nutmeg and pepper over patchouli and sandalwood with oud and spicy leather.

Bergamot

Bright, fresh citrus, like the zest of a lime with a soft floral edge

Saffron

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

Nutmeg

Warm spice, like ehuru (calabash nutmeg) in pepper soup

Black Pepper

Freshly ground pepper, like the kick in a pot of pepper soup

Patchouli

Earthy and dark, like damp soil in a forest

Sandalwood

Creamy, smooth wood, like sandalwood soap

Agarwood

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

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.
