What does Russian Oud (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with spring next and summer far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and in the character votes masculine leads, ahead of classic and modern.

Oud comes first. The heart holds Indian oud, cocoa, castoreum and deer musk: cocoa brings the sweetness, castoreum and musk the animal depth. The base of sandalwood, cedarwood, birch tar and labdanum sets a woody, resinous, smoky floor. Areej Le Doré Russian Oud Attar and Russian Oud II have a close profile.
