SmokyWhat does Oud Abramad smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and the occasions that lead are a night out and the evening. Most voters read it as masculine, though some call it classic or feminine.
It opens with a spicy pairing of saffron and ginger, then softens through Turkish rose absolute, white blossoms and cumin. In the base, oud, patchouli, frankincense and gaiac wood take over, while castoreum and cistus add an animal, resinous and earthy depth. Le Labo Oud 27 and Robert Piguet Oud have a close profile.
