What does Black Oudh smell like?

Musk comes first; in the heart, herbaceous notes and cedarwood give it a woody, earthy frame. The base is led by amber, patchouli and vanilla, where the sweetness is balanced by resinous, smoky and animal tones, giving it an oriental feel overall.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine. Orientica Malik Al Oudh Dhahab and Sospiro Afgano Puro have a close profile.
