Qimmah

Qimmah smells like a coffee shop turned into a perfume: roasted almond and espresso up front, cocoa and vanilla underneath.

This is a gourmand, not the oriental oud fragrance some older listings describe. Almond and coffee open the bottle, warm and a little nutty. Tuberose, tonka bean and jasmine fill out the middle, and it dries down into cocoa, vanilla and sandalwood. It is sweet without tipping into candy territory. Several reviewers describe it as a cheaper way into the Carolina Herrera Good Girl style, and the almond-vanilla-cocoa profile backs that up. Longevity gets mixed reviews, some wearers get a full day out of it, others find it fades within a few hours, so treat the number below as a middle estimate.
