A 5 ml bottle costs $220, while 0.5 ml samples are $22 and available by email request. The official product description is as follows: "Underneath the bouquet of the mukhallat, on a warm, Egyptian jasmine, tobacco night, rocks the ancient, romantic rhythm of the Assam oud. Relish in this mystical, swirling dance. It will light up all who surround you."
