A mossy green chypre that happens to contain oud.
Bergamot and artemisia open bracingly bitter, blackcurrant buds and clove sharpen a rose and geranium heart, and cypriol, oakmoss, patchouli and frankincense build a dark dry base beneath the oud.
Perfumed by: Roja Dove
KSI Take: The most chypre-shaped of the Gulf collection and the least Middle Eastern in feel, which makes it the easiest of the four to wear in Europe. It is also the most demanding, since the cumin and cypriol pairing is properly bitter and anyone expecting the sweetness of Kuwait or Qatar will find this severe.
