What does Lao Oud (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening, leisure and night out lead the occasions. The largest share of voters reads it as masculine, with a classic character next.

It opens with magnolia and pink pepper. The heart of chamomile, beeswax absolute, cinnamon, Peru balsam and cocoa absolute adds a sweet, spicy warmth. In the base, oud, birch tar and gaiac wood set a smoky, earthy woodiness, softened by coffee, vanilla and tonka bean. Bortnikoff Attar Lao Oud and Rania J. Ambre Loup have a close profile.
