Mukhallat Al Shiyoukh

Arabian Oud · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2012

≈ $140 · 100ml · approx. retail

Mukhallat Al Shiyoukh ('Blend of the Sheikhs') is a dense, spice-laden oriental in the traditional Gulf 'mukhallat' style, layering clove, cinnamon, and rose over a resinous amber-patchouli-cedar base. It represents Arabian Oud's classic, most traditionally Arabian formula style, aimed at drinkers of heavier, old-school Gulf perfumery.
