What does Oud Wa Misk smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening, night out and leisure the favoured occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters split almost evenly between calling it masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in the middle.

The notes read as one piece: oud, frankincense and patchouli build a woody, resinous, smoky body, and the musk softens it. Sweet and spicy accords add warmth, while leathery and animal tones stay in the background. Diptyque Oud Palao and Ramón Monegal Cuirelle have a close profile.
