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.
