Alghabra Parfums Poem of Damas Extrait

Description

Poem of Damas is a homage to Damascus's authentic, contemporary-oriental culture, composed by perfumer Jorge Lee. It opens with a powerful resonance of agarwood and amber, moves through a harmonious phase of floral and fruity notes, and closes on a smooth amber base carrying a lingering touch of oud. Alghabra keeps this note list intentionally broad rather than ingredient-by-ingredient, true to how the house itself describes it, but the arc is clear: a sophisticated, complex extrait for niche-perfumery lovers.

Scent Character

• Sweet: 40%
• Woody: 40%
• Floral: 20%

Translation: a sweet, woody amber floral, agarwood and amber up top give way to a floral-fruity heart, though the raw accord split doesn't carry a distinct oud percentage even with agarwood named as a top note; treat the oud read as present but supporting rather than dominant.

FAQ

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex. A complex amber floral built to wear on any skin.

Is there real oud in this?
Yes. Agarwood is a named top note, though it plays a supporting role in a broader amber-floral-fruity composition rather than leading it.

Why are the notes described so broadly ("Floral Notes," "Amber Notes")?
That's how Alghabra itself discloses this particular composition. It's intentionally impressionistic rather than a full ingredient breakdown.

What's the longevity like?
Good: 7-9 hours with strong initial projection.
