What does Lucky Oud smell like?

It opens with Indian sandalwood and Thai lotus, and in the heart tea rose and vanilla sweeten it. The base brings together styrax, cocoa absolute, tonka bean, Thai oud and Bengal sandalwood, pulling the scent in a woody, resinous and smoky direction.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good; most voters find the longevity high, though the number of votes is small. Although it has been discontinued, its dense, warm character suits those who like heavy orientals. Jeroboam Ambra and Buchoed Rosa Nigra have a close profile.
