What does Golden Oud smell like?

The heart holds white woods, patchouli, sandalwood, violet and vetiver, under aromatic notes at the top, with oud, musk and moss at the base. Spicy, resinous and oriental tones sit on a green, earthy ground, and the scent keeps its smoky woodiness as it dries.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, followed by daily wear. It reads more masculine to most voters, though many find it feminine. Loewe Un Paseo por Madrid - Tras la tormenta en el Jardín Botánico and Brecourt Oud Santal have a close profile.
