What does Midnight Oud (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters choose it for winter and autumn, and find it best suited to evenings and nights out. Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, and many see it as masculine and classic.

At first, thyme's spicy freshness is softened by bergamot, while frankincense adds a resinous note. In the heart, patchouli, opoponax and leather build a woody, leathery body; at the base, labdanum, vanilla and amber sweeten it into a warm, oriental finish.
