From your scent profile
Amouage Oud Ulya is a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex scent, an oriental built on oud, softened by creamy vanilla and darkened by the animal edge of birch tar.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.

What does Oud Ulya smell like?
Oud Ulya is a strong perfume. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, and most voters give the longevity a high score. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, with a dense, full character.
Assam oud leads, laying down a spicy, woody ground. In the heart, vanilla pulls that severity towards something creamy and sweet. The base of birch tar leaves a smoky, resinous, animal trail. Les Vides Anges Bois d'Agar 01 / Bonjour Madame (Eau de Parfum) and Ameenroma Aromatics Dehn Indian Oud have a close profile.
