Why Arabian Oud Amiri Has a Following

Here is why, in scores rather than superlatives.

Royal regal presentation coupled with an ultra-luxurious modern fresh-spicy character.

How Amiri Smells: Notes & Development

Amiri opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Tangerine — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Nutmeg, Cedarwood and Patchouli. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Amber, Musk, Vanilla and Sandalwood.
