What does Oud Al Sultan smell like?

In the top, green mandarin, red mandarin and bergamot give a bright, citrusy start. The heart adds jasmine, rose and saffron, bringing floral and spicy layers. As it dries down, gaiac wood, Thai oud, vanilla and cedarwood take over; the woody base carries an animalic edge, while vanilla softens it a little.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. It sits comfortably on both men and women. Mark Buxton Perfumes Sounds & Visions and Electimuss Imperium have a close profile.
