What does Oud (2020) smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall; night outs and evenings lead, while summer and the office sit far behind. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, with a share also finding it classic.

It opens with rose and orange, then amber, raspberry and date sweeten the heart. In the base, Burmese and Thai oud join vanilla, sandalwood, benzoin and patchouli into a woody, resinous, smoky texture. Fruity and floral tones soften the sweetness.
