What does Wild Oud / وايلد عود smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it lingers on the skin and projects well. The number of votes is small, though, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It suits men and women alike and has a dense, heavy build.

It opens with mint and lavender for a fresh start, then vanilla and benzoin in the heart soften it into a creamy sweetness. The base brings honey, tonka bean, tobacco and oud forward, and with the spicy, resinous, leathery and earthy accords it settles into a gourmand oriental feel. A synthetic edge is noticeable too.
