Barakkat 540

The opening pairs jasmine with saffron, floral and gently warm at once. In the heart, wood amber and spruce resin add a dry, resinous glow, and jasmine returns to soften it. The dry-down rests on grey amber, cedar and amber, smooth and quietly sweet, sitting close to the skin.

Its character is polished rather than loud. The 50ml bottle is a practical size for a bag or a desk drawer, and the scent works from a working day to a dinner or a special occasion. Reach for it whenever you want to smell put together without thinking twice.
