Ariana & Evans - Khalifa - Aftershave Splash - Ultima Base 5oz

Khalifa draws inspiration from Nasomatto Black Afgano, and describing its scent is a subjective experience. Ask ten people, and you'll hear ten unique interpretations, but they all share one common sentiment... it's hauntingly beautiful.

Khalifa is a fragrance that unfolds like a shadowed night, where beauty lies hidden in the depths of mystery. Its scent is rich and resinous, enveloping the senses in a dense, smoky veil of oud and h*shish.  The opening is heavy, yet majestic, with a warmth that hints at something forbidden, something wild. Dark, sweet notes of incense curl around you, dense like smoke from a crackling fire, while the deep, earthy richness of hemp creates a raw, tactile dimension.

As the fragrance evolves, a quiet sweetness emerges, subtle and elusive, like the distant glow of a firefly caught in the dense fog. There's a leathery smoothness that binds it all together, like the cracked, worn leather of a forgotten book, its pages imbued with secrets that only the brave dare to unearth. Khalifa offers the scent of something that has been kept in shadow, beautiful in its mystery, dangerous in its allure, like a hidden garden at the edge of the world where only those who venture into the dark can truly appreciate its depth.

Khalifa is a mix of mysterious & exotic 'resins', tob*cco, vanilla, oud, coffee and incense. It's a dark, smokey, woody mix that is reminiscent of a fine niche fragrance.
