What does Oud Malinau smell like?

It opens with mimosa and cardamom, then moves into a fruity, gourmand sweetness at the heart, built on Ceylonese cinnamon, raspberry and beeswax. In the base, Siam benzoin and Indonesian oud form a creamy, powdery woody ground, while pink pepper and black pepper keep the spice lively.

Its longevity is rated strong, and most voters say it stays on the skin for a long time. Sillage is rated good. With its rich, sweet, oriental character, it sits comfortably on both men and women. Guerlain Oud Nude and Guerlain Angélique Noire have a close profile.
