What does Oud X smell like?

Oud X is rated good for longevity and moderate for sillage, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Most voters place it in the evening or on a night out, with leisure and daily wear well behind. It is described as unisex.

It starts with oud and bergamot, then moves into a heart of cedar, patchouli and saffron that adds woody, spicy warmth, softened by lily of the valley, peony and freesia. The base of vanilla, date, sandalwood, ambergris and musk leaves a creamy, sweet, oriental finish. Angel Schlesser Absolute Oriental and Versace Versace pour Femme Oud Oriental have a close profile.
