Shumoukh Al Ghutra
Shumoukh Al Ghutra opens with a sharp green-apple bite over galbanum and violet — galbanum lends a bitter, almost stem-like quality that keeps the apple from going candied.

By the editors · 2 min readShumoukh Al Ghutra opens with a sharp green-apple bite over galbanum and violet — galbanum lends a bitter, almost stem-like quality that keeps the apple from going candied. It's a brief, vivid top that resolves quickly.
The heart drops into leather and cedar, where the composition shows its hand: this is a smooth, modern leather rather than birch-tar smoky. Cedar adds a dry pencil-shavings spine to the suede. The base is short on listed material — vanilla and musk — but does enough to soften the leather and pull the dry-down into something wearable rather than austere.
Wears as a confident daytime-into-evening fragrance, more masculine-leaning, suited to cool weather and formal contexts.
