How does Maison Asrar Emerald smell?
Several entries here are accords, meaning blended impressions rather than single ingredients. A woody accord and cashmere wood in the top give a smooth, dry, soft timber feel, violet leaves add a cool, green, slightly metallic freshness, and pepper provides a dry spark. In the heart, dry amber and a leathery accord join sandalwood, so the centre should be warm, dry and supple rather than sweet.
The base holds a fougere accord, amber, vanilla wood and tonka beans. A fougere accord points at an aromatic, herbal-clean style, vanilla wood suggests the creamy, sweeter side of timber, and tonka beans add a soft, sweet-dry warmth. Taken together this is a dry, woody and spicy perfume with a green opening, a leathery centre and a gently sweet finish, but not a sugary one.

To compare by notes, scan the rest of the Maison Asrar range for other entries with a cashmere wood or sandalwood core and amber below, and see which of them keep the green violet leaf opening.
