OrientalWhat does Mystery Oud smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and can also be worn to the office. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
The top notes are carrot, cumin, angelica and violet, giving a spicy, slightly fresh start. The heart brings frankincense, pepper, nutmeg, oud and iris. In the base, musk, leather, labdanum, amber and oud settle into a woody, sweet, oriental warmth. Arabian Oud Al Fareed and Rasasi Tasmeem Men have a close profile.
