What does Oud Couture smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and place it in the evening or on a night out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters split between masculine and feminine, which fits its unisex character.

Taif rose and Damask rose form a floral base, while saffron, black pepper and clove add spicy warmth. Oud, benzoin and frankincense bring a woody, resinous and slightly smoky depth. A sweet, powdery side softens the animal and leathery touches.
