What does Oud Candy smell like?

It opens with hard candy, brown sugar, milk and nuts, while white blossoms in the heart soften the sweetness. The base brings oud, vanilla, cedarwood and leather forward. Its accords read sweet, spicy, woody, animal, resinous and leathery.

Voters find both longevity and sillage very strong. Most pick fall and winter, though summer draws a fair share too. Modern is the leading character vote, with masculine and feminine close together. Label Olive Wood & Leather and Parfums d'Elmar Joker have a close profile.
