What does Blue Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out. Voters read it as mainly masculine, with a classic side as well.

It opens on Cambodian oud, blue musk softens the heart, and Indian oud takes over in the base. The overall impression is sweet and spicy: woody, resinous and earthy facets build a smoky backdrop, while animal and creamy tones round out the oriental character. Khas Oud & Perfumes Special and Ajmal Dahn Al Oudh Lujain have a close profile.
