What does Crystal Oud smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on skin through much of the day without announcing itself too loudly. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are best read with caution.

It opens with black pepper, rhubarb and lemon, giving a spicy freshness. In the heart, oud, cypress, cedar leaf and benzoin build a woody, resinous body, while poppy and white truffle add floral and earthy touches. The base leans on vetiver, patchouli and frankincense, softened by musk and oakmoss. Charriol Royal White and Birkholz Royal Vetiver have a close profile.
