What does Aquilaria Blossom smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus layer of Japanese yuzu, orange and bergamot. In the heart, oud, magnolia and neroli lead, while patchouli, frankincense and tonka bean add a woody, resinous depth. The base of myrrh, vanilla, saffron and castoreum sweetens the scent and closes on an animal warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean slightly towards autumn but suggest all four seasons, and it sits closer to leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it classic or feminine. Roja Parfums Amber Aoud and Evody Desert Nocturne have a close profile.
