What does Dirham Oud smell like?

Most voters recommend it for fall and winter, with spring also in the picture and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evening and night-out wear, though daily and office use get votes too. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters find it masculine.

The opening of bergamot, lavender and pepper is brightened by orange blossom. The heart holds amber, musk and marine notes. The base is led by oud, labdanum, sandalwood and vanilla, settling into a sweet, gourmand, spicy and resinous character. Lattafa Raghba and Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac have a close profile.
