Moresque Al Andalus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Andrea Thero Casotti. Al Andalus opens with Pepper, Ginger, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Oud, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Birch, Labdanum, and Tolu Balsam. Moresque's Al Andalus carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a bold, refined oud and spice journey with a divisive birch note. Some find it a masterpiece of warmth and depth; others are put off by a persistent, almost plasticky birch. Sample before you commit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Al Andalus opens with a vibrant, fiery kick of ginger and black pepper, softened by a hint of leathery saffron. This spicy prelude quickly settles into a rich, woody heart dominated by a non-funky Indonesian oud. As it evolves, a distinctive balsamic birch emerges, blended with earthy vetiver and the resinous sweetness of labdanum and tolu balsam, creating a complex, smoky, and warm drydown.
