What does Oud Loukoum smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and leisure and evening wear lead. Voters lean masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

It opens with dried fruits and tobacco, giving a sweet, spicy warmth, while ylang-ylang adds a soft floral touch in the heart. As it dries, cedar, gaiac wood and the two ouds build a woody, animalic, smoky base, wrapped in the resinous sweetness of Peru balsam. Aura Perfume A.E.O.M. and Zara TOB/02 Tobacco Tango have a close profile.
