How does Maison Asrar 1963 smell?
Citrus, a plain fresh note and lavender make up the top, so on paper the first impression is bright and clean, with the lavender adding an aromatic, slightly herbal edge to the zest. The heart is carnation plus a general floral note. Carnation is a flower with a gently spiced character, which is probably where the Spicy family word comes from, and it gives the sharp top a rounder, softer middle.
Underneath, the ambery term, musk and sandalwood form the base. Sandalwood adds a smooth, creamy dryness, musk keeps the skin feeling soft, and the ambery word points at a warm, faintly sweet resin glow. Put together, you can expect a perfume that begins sparkling and herbal, moves through a spiced floral centre and finishes warm, woody and softly clean rather than heavy or sugary.

Who might like Maison Asrar 1963?
Think of someone drawn to the tidy, herbal brightness of lavender and citrus who also wants a spiced floral middle and a smooth woody finish. Anyone comparing notes could look through the rest of the Maison Asrar range for other lists that pair lavender with sandalwood or musk, then see which ones add more sweetness than this one does.
