Barakkat Rouge 540 Extrait

Saffron and bitter almond start things off, warm and slightly nutty, the almond keeping the saffron from turning too sweet. Egyptian jasmine follows in the heart, set against the dry, clean line of cedar. As the extrait settles, ambergris and musk come forward with a woody finish, close to the skin and glowing.

Extrait strength means a little goes a long way, so one or two sprays are plenty. It suits evenings, celebrations and the moments you want to be remembered. The deep red box with gold lettering, matched by the colour of the bottle and juice, makes it a natural choice as a gift.
