What does Oud (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though daily and office wear also get votes. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.

Italian orange and Calabrian bergamot open it brightly. In the heart, Haitian amyris, Russian coriander and oud bring the spicy, woody character forward. Indonesian patchouli, musk, Atlas cedar and sandalwood then settle into a warm, soft base. Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud and Emir Resurrection share a close profile.
