What does Oud Save the Queen (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with bergamot and Earl Grey tea, then clove, jasmine and orange blossom form a spicy, floral sweetness in the heart. Gaiac wood and oud lay a woody, resinous base, and the scent dries down warm and sweet.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer plays little part. It leans towards evening and night-out wear. Votes lean feminine, though some read it as masculine. Floris Honey Oud and Penhaligon's Oud de Nil have a close profile.
