How Ser Al Khulood Smells: Notes & Development

Ser Al Khulood opens with Apple, Bergamot and Lemon — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Orris, Jasmine and Spices. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Cedarwood, Patchouli, Musk and Vanilla.
