SmokyWhat does Golden Oud smell like?
It opens with clove, thyme, sage and black pepper, a spicy and slightly bitter start. In the heart, rose, patchouli, balsam and Indian oud take over, with the floral side softening an earthy, woody core. The base of amber, oud, vanilla, sandalwood and musk sweetens and deepens it, while the animalic and smoky tones stay in the background.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so treat those ratings with caution. Its dense build suits cooler weather and evenings. Al Haramain Imperial Oud and Dior Oud Ispahan have a close profile.
