What does Leather Oud smell like?

Leather, oud and birch together give it a rough, smoky, earthy character. Clove and cardamom add spicy warmth, while amber and labdanum bring a resinous depth. Sandalwood and cedar firm up the woody base, and civet leaves an animal trace.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Sospiro Misterioso and L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh have a close profile.
