What does Cola Oud smell like?

The opening pairs cinnamon leaf, bergamot, grapefruit and cola, giving a fresh, lightly sweet start of citrus and spice. In the heart, jasmine sambac and pink pepper take over, and the base of Indian oud, clove and hiba wood pulls the scent towards woody, spicy and earthy ground. Animal and synthetic shades sit among the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and it was released in 2023 and has been discontinued. Rituals Nuit de L'Himalaya and Armaf Nomad have a close profile.
