I ♥ MAKKAH

Al Musbah's I ♥ MAKKAH is a unisex Oriental Woody built around a stark, unapologetic oud. The opening wastes no time: black pepper and a blunt spicy accord cut through a rose that reads more dark than dewy, setting a tense, dry tone. Almost immediately, agarwood takes over the heart and never loosens its grip. This is not a polite oud; it is dense, resinous and slightly smoky, with the rose reduced to a faint, shadowed echo behind it.

The base is listed simply as agarwood, and that is exactly what you get: a long, monolithic drydown of woody, ambered warmth. With oud at 100% in the main accords, this is a scent for collectors who already know they love the material and want it front and centre. It suits cool weather and evening wear, and it will feel out of place in an office. If you are new to oud, sample first; if you are not, this is a straightforward, affordable oud to add to the rotation.

Al Musbah 嘅 I ♥ MAKKAH 係一支中性東方木質香水，香調結構非常直接。前調由胡椒、辛香料同玫瑰組成，玫瑰偏向暗沉而非清甜，帶出乾燥而帶張力嘅開場。好快，沉香（Oud）就佔據中調，並且一直延續到基調，幾乎冇放鬆過。呢度嘅沉香唔係斯文類型，而係厚實、帶樹脂感同微微煙燻，玫瑰只係背後一抹隱約嘅影子。基調同樣標示為沉香，所以尾調就係一條漫長、木質帶琥珀暖意嘅沉香主軸。主 accord 顯示沉香佔 100%，適合已經熟悉並鍾意沉香嘅收藏家。冷天或夜晚用最合適，辦公室會太搶。新手建議先試香。
