What does Joud smell like?

It opens with clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and saffron, which give it a spicy warmth. In the heart, nutty notes, ambrette and vanilla make it creamy and sweet, and amber, tonka bean and musk keep that softness going in the base. Fresh, citrus and green touches show up among the accords, but the gourmand side clearly leads.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so a light hand may be enough. It sits comfortably on both men and women. Insolitum Odores Tonka Nube and Tada Parfumeur Hypnotised have a close profile.
