What does Attar Lao Oud smell like?

It opens on magnolia and pink pepper, then moves into a heart of chamomile, beeswax absolute, cinnamon, Peru balsam and cocoa absolute. In the base, tonka bean, coffee and vanilla absolute soften the oud with a creamy, resinous sweetness. The overall impression is woody, earthy and animalic.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, so it suits those who like dense, heavy fragrances. The number of voters is small, so these impressions are best read with caution. Bortnikoff Lao Oud and Rania J. Ambre Loup have a close profile.
