What does Royal Oud smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evening and nights out, though it also works for the office. Close to half of voters read it as masculine.
Galbanum, bergamot and lime give a cool, green, citrus opening, with pink pepper adding a slight bite. At the heart, clove, cardamom and cedarwood build a spicy, woody warmth. The base of Vietnamese oud, frankincense, gaiac wood, ambergris and musk is resinous, smoky and faintly sweet.
