About This Perfume
Oud Maknoon by Swiss Arabian is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Top note is Pepper; middle note is Rose; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Amber and Musk. "Oud Maknoon surprises you when you least expect it! Waves of extreme freshness meet Peppery notes and fuse with mouthwatering Rosy and Spicy elements. The special mix in the base, with Agarwood, Oriental and Musk, will leave you dazzled for a very long time. Oud Maknoon is unique in its ability to transform any (and we mean any) fragrance, even a mundane aftershave or equivalent, into a uniquely exotic and woody one! While it is a stand alone marvel, in one's own right, it is perfect for layering if you have never done so before; Simply apply it first, then put on any other fragrance." - a note from the brand.
