What does Blu Oud smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters say it leaves a clear trail. Season votes are spread fairly evenly, with autumn and spring slightly ahead. It is chosen most for daily wear, sits comfortably at work and in leisure time, and is less often picked for evenings.

It opens with cypress, bergamot and leather, where the bergamot lifts the scent and the leather adds a firm edge. Violet leaf, geranium and frankincense form the heart. The base of gaiac wood, patchouli, musk and oud dries down warm, while the fresh, spicy and sweet accents keep it from turning heavy.
