What does Oud Excelsa smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most of those who rated longevity found it high, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The profile suits both men and women.

Vietnamese oud, Atlas cedar, Finnish birch wood and Guatemala cardamom lead the notes, while Ethiopian and Colombian coffee and Bulgarian rose soften that woody frame. As a whole the scent carries both a synthetic sheen and an oriental warmth. It shares a close profile with Pana Dora Stricker and Nomenclature holy_wood.
