What does City Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, and it also works for leisure time, while the office is a less common choice.

It opens with cinnamon and saffron, which give a spiced warmth. In the heart, cedar, frankincense and rose lead, the floral touch softening into a woody, sweet base. The drydown of oud, patchouli and balsam tree leaves an earthy, smoky trail.
