What does Aqua Oud smell like?

The top pairs bergamot with marine notes for a fresh, citrusy, aquatic opening. In the heart, geranium, sage, aniseed and rosemary add a spicy, herbal edge. The base of vetiver, patchouli, frankincense, moss, ambroxan and white musk settles into a woody, resinous finish.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong. Votes gather around leisure, daily wear and the office, with evening and night out chosen less often. Its profile is close to Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo and Armaf Odyssey Nexus.
