What does The Other Side of Oud smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number see it as feminine.

It opens with the warm spice of cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. In the heart, coffee blossom and geranium soften that edge. The base of oud, vanilla absolute and roasted coffee leaves a sweet, smoky, resinous trail. Birkholz Berlin Fever and Montblanc Star Oud have a close profile.
