What does Harrods Agarwood smell like?

The top notes are black tea, nutmeg and saffron, so it opens with the dryness of tea warmed by spice. In the heart, patchouli, suede and violet make it a little more powdery and leathery. The base brings oud, sandalwood, amber and musk; the gourmand and oriental accords push the sweetness forward while the oud stays woody and resinous, with a slightly synthetic sheen running through it.

It suits anyone who likes dense, spicy oud fragrances. Orodion Orodion and Initio Oud for Greatness have a close note and accord profile.
