What does Aoud Musk smell like?

The scent reads as a single piece: sandalwood, oud and cedarwood build a woody frame, and musk softens it. Turkish rose sweetens that dense texture a little. The accords also include resinous and animal tones, yet a fresh side keeps it from turning too heavy.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are a rough guide rather than a firm verdict. It works on men and women alike. Bond No. 9 Dubai Gold and Profumum Roma Amante have a close profile.
