Al-Quds
Fragrance notes
Character
Cacao and tonka bean give Al-Quds a rich, edible warmth that feels like velvet against the skin. Saffron threads through the sweetness with a golden, slightly metallic glow. Jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang float above the heavier notes, bright and creamy rather than sharp.
Tobacco and patchouli add a dry, crumbled-leaf texture that keeps the blend from becoming a pure dessert. Orris and may rose contribute a soft, powdery elegance that recalls old-world dressing tables. Assam oud and sandalwood form a dense, carved-wood backbone beneath the florals.
Resins and opoponax create a thick, balsamic haze that lingers in the air like incense smoke inside a stone courtyard. Musk smooths the edges so the transition between spice and flower feels seamless. Geranium offers a brief, green flicker that cuts through the amber density.
The overall mood is a lantern-lit courtyard where cold air meets warm stone and burning wood, the scent rising in slow curls above a gathering that has only just begun.
