What does Oud Saphir smell like?

It opens bright and slightly sharp with Calabrian bergamot and Chinese pink pepper, softened by Indian ambrette seed. The heart of suede, Egyptian jasmine and Grasse violet leaf balances floral and leathery tones. In the base, oud, Bourbon vanilla and Chinese birchwood leave a woody, resinous, sweet trail.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter; it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though some find it feminine. Guerlain Santal Royal and Swiss Arabian Attar al Ghutra have a close profile.
