How does Maison Asrar Dubai London smell?
Lavender, pink pepper and citrus give a crisp, herbal, lightly peppery start. The heart is the interesting turn: orris is a powdery, cool, slightly earthy root note, apricot adds a soft, velvety fruit sweetness, and hazelnut brings a toasted, creamy nuttiness. Together they take the sharp top somewhere gentler and rounder, with the powder tying the fruit and the nut together. Nothing in the top or heart is syrupy, so the sweetness remains gentle and dry.
Cedar, cashmeran, musk and vetiver make the base. Cedar and vetiver are dry and woody, with vetiver adding a rooty, slightly smoky green; cashmeran adds a soft, spicy-woody smoothness, and musk keeps it clean. The overall shape is a dry, woody perfume with a soft, powdery, nutty middle, which fits the Woody and Spicy family words. Nothing in the base is sweet, so the arc runs from bright and herbal to soft, powdery and dry.
