Think smoky oud wood warmed by cardamom and spice: that is Swiss Arabian Mukhalat Malaki. It opens with Turkish rose, moves into Cambodian oud and Spanish saffron and settles on sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This perfume oil is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Around $38.
