Named after a traditional Arabian coffee pot, it's no surprise than Golden Dallah leans into something dark and toasty.
Up close, it's a spice-laden oud that feels more like aged wood than anything animalic, while in the air it's much smoother, and one of Xerjoff's more transportive creations.
I imagine walking through an Arabian bazaar at night. Escaping the dry heat, we step into a dimly lit alcove surrounded by jars of spice, worn wood, and faint incense. Freshly brewed coffee lingers in the air, while a thread of sweet saffron drifts in from a nearby dessert shop.
