Summary

AlUla is a warm amber-spicy fragrance inspired by the Incense Road, pairing ripe plum with incense, saffron, tobacco and vanilla. Black pepper and turmeric keep the opening dry and spiced around the fruit rather than jammy. Cardamom, vanilla and saffron add warmth through the middle, while tobacco, patchouli and olibanum deepen the drydown with smoke and earth. The fragrance feels expansive and resinous, balancing sweetness against dusty spice and incense. It is a strong fit for shoppers who like plum and vanilla but want them wrapped in tobacco, patchouli and frankincense rather than a straightforward gourmand.
