In chess, an Arabian mate is one of the oldest known checkmate patterns, delivered by a rook and knight together, and the house frames the fragrance around that sense of long tradition. It opens with bergamot and lemon, warmed by cardamom and spiced pear. The heart pairs rose and jasmine with guaiac wood, oud and patchouli, and the drydown is soft and round: sandalwood, vanilla absolute, tonka absolute and golden amber. The oud here is polished and warm rather than smoky or barnyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, Lemon, Cardamom, Spiced Pear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose, Jasmine, Guaiac Wood, Oud, Patchouli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood, Vanilla Absolute, Tonka Absolute, Golden Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e As an extrait, it is built for a long wear, typically well into the evening.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to strong in the first hours.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection:\u003c\/strong\u003e An arm's length or so early on, then a warm, close aura of amber and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn honest note:\u003c\/em\u003e Arabian Mate is a recent release and a settled reviewer consensus on performance has not formed yet, so we are not quoting precise hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest in Fall and Winter, for Evening wear, Leisure and a Night Out.
