Al Haramain Perfumes Basma Noir is an Eau de Parfum. Basma Noir opens with Bergamot, Orange, Nutmeg, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cedar and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Rose. Al Haramain Perfumes's Basma Noir carries a Statement verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its spicy-woody complexity or find it utterly perplexing. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique standout.

About

Basma Noir kicks off with a zesty, almost fiery greeting of bergamot, orange, and ginger, warmed instantly by nutmeg. This lively opening quickly settles into a robust heart of cedar and creamy sandalwood, providing a woody backbone. As it matures, a rich, dark rose emerges, softened by a plush musk and a deep, resinous amber, leaving a lasting, slightly powdery trail that's both intriguing and enveloping.
