What does Oud Sapphire smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, and most voters score each of them high. Because it is so concentrated in feel, it fills a room, so a light hand may be enough. As a unisex scent it reads comfortably on both men and women.

It opens with black pepper, saffron and ambrette for a spicy start. In the heart, oud, osmanthus and leather take over, with the floral, fruity touch of osmanthus softening the woody and animal tones. The base of styrax, iris and sandalwood settles into a resinous, powdery and woody floor. Rania J. Cuir Andalou and Montale Dark Aoud have a close profile.
