How does Al Majed Oud Abaq smell?
Bergamot and spices open Al Majed Oud Abaq. The bergamot is bright and slightly bitter, the spices dry and warming, so the first impression is crisp with a little heat behind it. The brief lists no heart notes, so nothing is described between the opening and the base, and the scent moves straight from that citrus-and-spice start into its foundation.
Sandalwood, patchouli and cedarwood form the base. Sandalwood is creamy and smooth, patchouli earthy and a touch damp, cedarwood dry and pencil-like. Read as a whole, Abaq is a woody scent with a brisk start, built from three woods of different texture rather than from flowers or sweetness.
Who is Al Majed Oud Abaq for?
Listed as unisex, and tagged by the shop for autumn, spring and winter, and for daily and evening use. The note list is short and woody, so it suits someone who likes a clean, dry, spiced wood scent without florals or sugar.
