What does Aoud smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, with most voters scoring each one high. The number of votes is small, though, so treat that as a first impression. There are no votes on season or occasion, but the dense structure points towards cooler weather and evenings.
It opens with saffron, black pepper and nutmeg, which give a warm, spicy start. In the heart, tonka bean adds sweetness while leather and labdanum bring a dark, resinous depth. The base rests on oud, patchouli, civet, musk and castoreum, which make it woody and animalic.
