What does Special Oud smell like?

Spikenard, nagarmotha, geranium and oud lead the top, joined by oriental and floral notes. In the heart, jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch, yet amber, sandalwood and patchouli keep the scent mostly woody and earthy. The base settles into amber, woody and musky notes, while the animal and resinous accords give it a dark, dense feel. Al Rehab Arooq Al Oud and Dior Oud Ispahan have a close profile.
