Very special and unique scent. Very spicy, lots of cumin and cardamom on a oud base. Very linear, it smells almost the same from beginning to end, more spicy at first to finish more on a dominant oud note, but the change is minimal. If you like aquatics and/or AXE/LYNX body sprays, do not even attempt using this perfume. I would not recommend this perfume unless you are very comfortable with oud, spices and arabian perfumes in general, but if you do, this is magnificent. A vehement THUMBS UP without a doubt
