What does Amber Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. It can also be worn in spring, but it leans towards the cooler seasons. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with roasted almond, lemon, bergamot and tagetes: the almond adds sweetness and the citrus lightens the first moments. Saffron, cinnamon and rose lead the heart. It dries down on patchouli, cistus, Haitian vetiver, tonka bean and oud, with a creamy, gourmand sweetness resting on a woody base.
