Alghabra Parfums Eye of Seven Hills Extrait
Description
Eye of Seven Hills is part of Alghabra's "Senses of Istanbul" collection, evoking a journey through the city's culture and history that concludes with the view of seven cascading hills from Galata Tower. Saffron, cinnamon, and nutmeg open the composition, moving into a boozy, resinous heart of whiskey, vanilla, tobacco, and tonka bean, before real agarwood joins amber, sandalwood, and cedar in the base. It's an amber-spicy extrait with above-average projection, the whiskey-tobacco heart draws comparisons to boozy ambers like Kilian's Angels' Share.
