ResinousWhat does Ardent (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Evening and night-out wear lead the votes, spring draws a fair share, and summer trails far behind. Voters read it as feminine more often than not, though it is classed as unisex.
It opens with Turkish rose, saffron and coriander, then moves into a softer floral heart of beeswax, jasmine and rose. The base is dominated by oud, vanilla, benzoin, patchouli and amber, drying down sweet, woody and resinous. Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir Intense and Floris Honey Oud have a close profile.
