What does Secret Oud (2017) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Jasmine and damask rose form the floral frame, while saffron and spikenard add a spicy, earthy depth. Cistus brings a resinous, animal warmth, and oud gives the woody, smoky character. Fresh and green accords lighten these heavier notes a little.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters rate longevity high, though the vote count is small, so this is a tentative picture. Its oriental, smoky build suits cooler weather and evenings best. Caron Secret Oud (2009) and Frapin Nevermore have a close profile.
