What does Platinum Oud smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, while summer is rarely chosen. It is worn for nights out, evenings and leisure time. Though unisex, it leans masculine.

It opens with a spicy start of black pepper and cardamom. In the heart, vetiver, dry woods and cedarwood build a woody backbone. At the base, tonka bean, musk and amber sweeten it and pull it into a creamy warmth. Al Haramain Oudh Musk and Nobile 1942 Castelli di Sabbia have a close profile.
