Hayati

Hayati from Al Haramain Perfumes, composed by Christian Carbonnel, is a woody fragrance with a sweet, gourmand side and musky, floral and ambery facets in equal measure. It is meant to be worn by anyone.

Rose and sugar give it a soft, sweet start, the rose rounded and jam-like rather than fresh, the sugar adding a candied glow. Agarwood, or oud, then emerges with its dark, resinous and slightly smoky character, carried on a blend of woody notes that give it structure. Amber and musk settle in at the base, wrapping everything in a warm, smooth and slightly powdery finish that feels close to the skin.

The rose-and-oud pairing is a classic of Middle Eastern perfumery, and here the sugar makes it more approachable and comforting. It suits cooler weather, evenings and special occasions, and works well for people who want a sweet rose-oud that is warm and enveloping rather than sharp or medicinal.
