What does Oud pour Lui smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, while office and daily wear get fewer votes. Many read it as masculine.

Moroccan saffron, Egyptian geranium and Sicilian lemon open the top. Cumin, African frankincense and Jasminum auriculatum form the heart. Oud, Java vetiver and amber dominate the base, and the spicy, woody, resinous character settles into an animal, leathery edge. Farmacia SS. Annunziata Whisky Oud and Xerjoff 'Ilm have a close profile.
