Hayat is a deeply textured, woody-spicy fragrance centered around real oud, delivering a bold and atmospheric experience. The opening features bitter orange, lavender, and saffron, creating a sharp, herbal confrontation that evolves into a complex layer of cardamom, cinnamon, and cedar. The oud note is earthy, slightly barnyard in character, and prominent without overwhelming the composition. Over time, the fragrance develops a dry, woody base with hints of cypriol and patchouli, lending it a grounded, slightly medicinal depth. It performs with exceptional longevity, lasting well beyond 12 hours, and projects moderately to strongly, filling the space around the wearer even when nearly undetectable to the skin. The scent is most appreciated during cooler months, particularly at night, and is generally worn by men, though its layers offer appeal to those who enjoy unusual, unapologetically raw oud chemistry. It is especially cherished by enthusiasts who value authenticity, potency, and olfactory journeying over wearable safety and sweet balance.
