What does Oud & Santal (Parfum) smell like?

The scent is built around sandalwood, plum and oud. The plum's fruity sweetness meets the creamy, powdery softness of sandalwood, while the oud adds a resinous, smoky depth. A spicy, oriental warmth runs through the whole composition.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably in between. CinisLabs Frankincense Sandalwood Oud and Kerosene Blackmail have a close profile.
