What does Attar Oud Maximus smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, orange and cardamom, with pink pepper and jasmine sambac alongside. The heart is a heavy floral of May rose, Indian rose, Himalayan rose and rose attar, pulled towards spicy and creamy by clove and tonka bean. The base joins the oud notes with tolu balm, deer musk, civet and vanilla; the accords read woody, resinous, earthy and oriental.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Voters also rate its value for money highly. Bortnikoff Oud Maximus (2020) and Bortnikoff Oud Maximus (Elixir) have a close profile.
