Al Haramain Perfumes Portfolio Oriental Forest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Portfolio Oriental Forest opens with Bergamot, Carnation, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cedar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cumin, and dries down to a base of Myrrh. Al Haramain Perfumes's Portfolio Oriental Forest carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an intoxicating, unique journey, others get stuck on a soapy or chalky opening. Not a crowd-pleaser, but if you're after something unusual and deeply atmospheric, it's worth a sniff.

About

Imagine wandering into a dark, spiced forest. This fragrance opens with a sharp, medicinal burst of cardamom and bergamot, quickly joined by the dry, piquant spice of carnation and cumin. The heart unveils a resinous labdanum with warm cinnamon and nutmeg, deepened by green galbanum and woody cedar. The journey culminates in a rich, antique myrrh, leaving an earthy, almost chalky trail on the skin.
