How does Maison Asrar Jawhara Black smell?
Three of the five entries in the top and heart are collective terms rather than single ingredients. Aromatic points to a herbal, slightly camphorous freshness, Fresh is a clean, airy lift, and Woody in the heart is a general wood impression that backs up the cedarwood. Bergamot is the one concrete citrus, and cedarwood is the dry, pencil-shaving wood note, so the front half is short, clean and uncomplicated.
Ambery, labdanum and leather make up the base list. Ambery is a warm, resinous, slightly sweet accord, labdanum is the sticky resin that gives it much of that character, and leather is a smooth, dry, faintly smoky note. Expect a quick, clean, herbal brightness at the start, then a dry woody middle and a warm, resinous leather base. It is a short, simple pyramid, so woody and leathery are likely to be the clearest impressions.
