What does Al Oud smell like?

It opens with oud resin and bergamot, deepens into patchouli, Cambodian oud and coumarin at the heart, and dries down on Assam oud. Spicy and woody accords lead, with oriental, animal and earthy tones alongside, while the coumarin softens the edges a little.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as classic and masculine. Serge Lutens Bois Roi d'Agalloche and Amouage Opus XIII - Silver Oud have a close profile.
