Hayaati Gold Elixir

The opening is sharp and juicy, as grapefruit and bergamot meet the dark berry tang of cassis. The heart is richer: soft peach set against the golden heat of saffron and a smooth band of leather. As it dries down, vetiver adds an earthy line, while vanilla, musk and amber round everything into a warm, glowing finish.

The mood is confident and polished, with enough brightness at the start to keep the warmth from feeling heavy. It comes into its own on colder evenings, at dinners, celebrations and nights out, when a scent with a little gold in it suits the occasion. A lighter touch works well in the daytime through the cooler months.
