Ahl opens like a fruit basket, banana and raspberry with a touch of cardamom spice, playful and a little unexpected for an extrait. As it develops, iris, rose and jasmine soften the fruit into a floral heart, and the base brings oud, vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean together for a properly sweet, gourmand close. It leans dessert-like without turning cloying, thanks to the oud keeping things grounded.
Being an extrait, it clings close to skin with a soft projection but real staying power, easily lasting eight hours or beyond. Best suited to daytime wear in mild weather, especially spring, when a sweet gourmand feels appropriate rather than heavy.
