What does His Majesty the Oud smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it sits most comfortably in the evening or on a night out. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.

It opens with the smoky air of Lapsang Souchong tea. In the heart, cade juniper and clove add a spicy, resinous edge. The base is led by leather, frankincense and Laotian oud, with sweet, gourmand tones softening the woody, smoky structure. Zara Bohemian Oud and Santa Eulalia Obscuro have a close profile.
