What does Onycha smell like?

Opoponax, labdanum, Siam benzoin and fossilised amber give it a sweet, resinous weight. Oud, Himalayan cedar and Mysore sandalwood carry the woody, smoky side, while Somalian frankincense adds a spicy warmth. Animal and earthy accords stay in the background and add depth.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Its oriental build suits cooler weather, and it sits comfortably on any skin, masculine or feminine. Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense and Tom Ford Tobacco Oud have a close profile.
