Karak Oud opens with a fragrant handful of spices: green cardamom, coriander seed and the sweet, liquorice-like hint of star anise.

A soft floral heart smooths the spice, and the blend turns creamy and gently sweet, much like a cup of spiced milky tea.

Patchouli, cedar and oud make a warm, woody base. It stays rich and comforting from start to finish, with cardamom always in charge.
