What does Avicenna White Rose & Oud smell like?

It opens with the brightness of petitgrain, bergamot and Murcott mandarin, warmed by ginger, cinnamon and saffron. In the heart, Turkish rose, Persian rose and Egyptian jasmine lead, while frankincense and tuberose deepen the floral layer. The base of Assam oud, Indian sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla and labdanum leaves a sweet, resinous warmth.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and leisure wear close behind. Voters lean feminine, though a sizeable share call it masculine. Avicenna and Avicenna Myrrha Mystica share a close profile.
