Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. It can sit on either men or women, with a clearly woody and oriental character.
The two roses and the violet set the floral side, while oud adds a woody depth. Vanilla and benzoin pull the whole towards a creamy, gourmand, resinous sweetness. Blend Oud Oud Sapphire and Ministry of Oud Oud Satin have a close profile.
