What does Rosa Nera Oud smell like?

It opens with cinnamon, clove, raspberry and blackcurrant, a fruity spice, with rose adding a floral side. In the heart, frankincense, sandalwood and patchouli lay down a woody, smoky ground. The base of oud, musk, amber and benzoin settles into a sweet, oriental warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though few have voted. There is no season or occasion information, so it is hard to say more on that; its sweet, spicy build still points to those who like fuller, oriental scents. Amado Arabian Heritage and Rasasi Junoon Velvet for Women share a close profile.
