What does Oud Muataq smell like?

It opens sharp and spicy with oregano, peppermint and bergamot. Myrrh, frankincense and ambergris bring a resinous weight to the heart. Sandalwood, leather and oud take over the base, leaving a woody, oriental, leathery character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.
