The opening is darkly sweet — figs, dried dates, a trace of balsamic leather — before blooming into the Thaqeel richness beloved in the Middle Eastern tradition. One cannot help but think of old Arab traders, their garments perfumed, their beards carrying a scent so enveloping it collapses distance between people.
This oil draws you closer. There is intimacy here and a softness that disarms.
