What does Wasm Al-Oud smell like?

Cambodian oud leads the opening. In the heart, cashmere wood and gaiac wood lay down a woody base, and amber and patchouli in the base sweeten and soften it. Sweet, spicy and resinous accords dominate, with animal and smoky tones behind them and a creamy texture running through.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, and nearly all voters rate its staying power high. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are best read with caution. It suits those who like heavy oud and amber, and it calls for a light hand. Montale Aoud Night and Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan have a close profile.
