Ain Emarat by Al Wataniah

Ain Emarat by Al Wataniah — What It Actually Smells Like

Ain Emarat opens with pink peppercorn, cardamom, lavandin and mandarin — a spiced, slightly citrusy welcome. Geranium and vanilla move through the heart, softening the spice into something warmer and more floral.

The dry down settles into guaiac wood, sandalwood, vetiver and musk — a rich, woody finish that gives the fragrance real substance and staying power.
