LeatheryWhat does Opus XIII - Silver Oud smell like?
Patchouli, cypriol and Virginia cedar open it; in the heart, Bourbon vanilla absolute softens the edge of Assam oud. The base of gaiac wood, castoreum, birch and ambrarome dries down earthy and leathery.
Voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong. Most pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out; it is voted masculine more than anything else. Tauer Perfumes L'Oudh and Le Labo Oud 27 have a close profile.
