Mukhallath Al Sultan is a dense, woods-first oriental that puts oud, cedar and a noticeably present sandalwood front and centre. Give it a few wears and you may catch the fruitier lift, tart mango with a touch of plum, plus a soft powdery edge from orris. It wears best in the air around you, not up close on skin, and it can.

Mukhallath Seufi is a rose-led mukhallat that can surprise in the first minutes. Some wearers get a herbal, medicinal, even smoky start (think sage, lavender and clove-nutmeg warmth), before it settles into a richer rose over woods. As it warms up, creamy sandalwood, musky powder and a smoother style of oud come through, with amber, tonka and a touch of vanilla rounding. Show less
