The full profile.
Think warm leather and spice with a whisper of smoky oud: that is Gulf Orchid KHAYAL. It opens with bergamot, geranium and cardamom, moves into patchouli and saffron and settles on leather, musk and Oud. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2023.
Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

- Best for: anyone after something spicy and aromatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: warm spicy is new territory for you.
