Smelling the picks
For Sultani (Eau de Parfum, 2020), think bright berry citrus with minty floral freshness, opening on pink pepper and berries and drying down to white musk, patchouli and ambergris. Resala (Parfum, 2018) smells like warm chocolate cake with rose perfume; saffron up top and chocolate and oud underneath. Think berry compote simmered with anise and amber with Kalemat (Eau de Parfum), with blueberry and aniseed first and amber, sweetleaf and musk at the base.
