Qimmah

From the first spray, cedar and agarwood set a dry, woody tone that feels sharp rather than heavy. The heart turns herbal as lavender, sage and rosemary come through, keeping the blend bright and composed. Patchouli and vetiver then lay down an earthy base that gives depth while staying dry to the end.

Confident without shouting, it is easy to wear in any season. Rated at eight to ten hours, it is best for evenings, though the balanced herbal heart also makes it comfortable at the office. It is a sound choice for anyone who likes woody scents that stay polished and unsweetened.
