Azrak is a luminous, aquatic-woody scent that evokes a sun-drenched Mediterranean coast wrapped in soft sea mist. It opens with a bright, playful burst of citrus (lemon, bergamot) and juicy pineapple, layered over cardamom and cinnamon, giving it a fresh, gourmand aqua vibe. The heart blooms with delicate florals—jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, rose, and violet—tempered by a subtle spicy warmth and a faint metallic, slightly powdery air. The base settles into a smooth, woody-sweet embrace of oud, amber, cedar, sandalwood, and musk, providing depth without heaviness. It's particularly admired for its exceptional longevity and moderate-to-strong sillage, although some find it fades quickly. The scent balances floral elegance with a refined, airy woody structure, making it both wearable and captivating, with a layered complexity that unfolds over time. It leans feminine and light, but its aromatic balance allows for unisex appeal in spring and summer, especially for those seeking a refined, aquatic-leaning fragrance with a hint of mystery.
