What does Oud Zhen smell like?

It opens with oud alone, then deepens in the heart with Indian saffron and Indian oud. The base of myrrh, tolu balm, sandalwood and vetiver builds a resinous, earthy floor, while civet and castoreum add an animal warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. It reads mostly masculine and classic, though some voters see it as feminine.
