How does Rayhaan Back to Black smell?
Pear and bergamot open Rayhaan Back to Black with a juicy-sharp contrast, the pear soft and sweet, the bergamot bright. Then three white flowers take over: tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine sambac. Tuberose is creamy and rich, orange blossom honeyed, and jasmine sambac heady and slightly fruity. It is a full, opulent heart.
Patchouli, vanilla, ambroxan and vetiver sit underneath. Patchouli brings earth, vanilla sweetness, ambroxan a smooth mineral glow and vetiver a dry rooty edge. So the fruit and flowers sit on a base that is sweet but not sugary, with some dark, earthy depth added.
