Sahraa is simply beautiful. From the first spray you notice the powerful, compelling, natural oud which is smooth yet bitter, gentle yet with slight animalic qualities. This sits alongside a refreshing grapefruit which is only fleeting, as well as a trio of fresh flowers - rose, geranium and jasmine. There’s an addictive sweetness in the base primarily coming from saffron, but there’s also a soft Amber accord whispering in the background. The oud in here seems to be exactly the same type of oud used in Oud Noir Intense and while they share noticeable similarities, I find this one to be more seductive and suited to evening wear. For me, Sahraa bridges the gap between traditional and western oud. The oud used in here smells natural, high quality and definitely not something the mainstream market is used to, but the overall scent is very gentle, easy to wear and mass appealing. This fragrance is expertly crafted with exceptional blending and quality of ingredients.
