What does Oud Maharaji smell like?

It opens with currant absolute, coriander and leather, a spicy, leathery start. In the heart, oud, frankincense, cedarwood and Florentine iris absolute build a woody, resinous body, with the iris adding a floral softness. The base of myrrh, vanilla absolute, a second oud, gurjum balsam and ambergris settles into a sweet, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the votes are few and all point the same way. It suits those who want a dense, full-bodied scent, on men and women alike. My Geisha Overdose and Montale Oud Edition have a close profile.
