Zimaya Ilham Al Oud Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Origins and amber — the kindOud opens thick and resinous the kind that fills the room before you've finished spraying then settles into amber and warm spice. Ilham Al Oud doesn't apologise for the projection; it's built to announce itself. Unisex EDP, 100ml. Two sprays is enough for a full day; three if you want people catching the scent as you pass. Sits heavier in winter, stronger on clothes than skin.
