Layering Tips

The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

As Mahd Al Dhahab settles, the fresh citrus top notes give way to a warm and resinous heart of amber and oud, enriched by earthy patchouli. The base reveals a creamy, musky layer of vanilla and sandalwood, creating a luxurious, silky sensation. This comforting, slightly sweet finish is softened by white musk, which lingers on the skin for hours, making it a refined, elegant fragrance that becomes more intimate as it fades.
