Dubai Black Sapphire
Neroli and saffron burn off quickly, rose slipping beneath cedar and pepper. Tolu balsam and benzoin then thicken a base that oud and vetiver hold dry.
Zafar
Black pepper and rose over a heart of oud softened by neroli, then cedar, vetiver, incense and musk. Two grades of oud answer each other in the formula, and it stays dry and woody rather than sweet.
