What does Colonia Oud / Colonia Intensa Oud (Eau de Cologne Concentrée) smell like?

Italian orange and Calabrian bergamot give a fresh, citrusy opening. In the heart, Haitian amyris, Russian coriander and oud bring a spicy, resinous, earthy character. The base of Indonesian patchouli, musk, Atlas cedar and sandalwood dries down woody, slightly leathery and smoky.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, though leisure and daily wear also find a place. Most see it as masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Acqua di Parma Oud (Eau de Parfum) and Emir Resurrection.
