What does Oud Maximus Autumn '19 smell like?

It opens with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, bright and lightly spiced. May rose, Indian rose and clove dominate the heart. The base joins Indian, Vietnamese and Borneo oud with tolu balm, vanilla and birch tar, leaving an animalic, resinous depth.

Voters find its longevity and sillage strong. Its dense build suits cooler seasons and evenings, and it reads masculine and feminine alike. Bortnikoff Oud Maximus (2020) and Bortnikoff Attar Oud Maximus have a close profile.
