What does Assaf Hook Blue smell like?
A cool, spiced fruit trio begins Assaf Hook Blue: cardamom, bergamot and pear. Cardamom is cool, spicy and slightly camphorous, bergamot is bright, and pear adds a soft, watery fruit sweetness. The heart changes direction. Lavender is aromatic, patchouli is earthy, and cumin adds a warm, dry, savoury spice that gives the middle some bite.
The base is dry and natural: sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver. Sandalwood is creamy, cedarwood is dry and crisp, and vetiver is earthy and grassy, so the finish is clean and woody. The style is an aromatic, spiced, woody scent with fruit and citrus at the front, and the contrast lies between the light pear and the dry timber below.
Who is Assaf Hook Blue for?
Hook Blue is an aromatic scent of spice and wood with a fruity lift at the top. Lavender and cardamom give it a herbal, cool side, while patchouli, cumin and the woody base give it a drier, deeper one. The list holds no obviously sweet note beyond the pear, so the feel is dry and clean rather than sugary.
