What does Honey Oud smell like?

It opens with bergamot and honeycomb, then moves into patchouli, rose and oud at the heart. The base holds musk, cistus, vanilla and amber. The sweet, gourmand side is tempered by spicy, woody and resinous accords, leaving an earthy, smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out. Though unisex, voters lean towards a masculine reading. Floris Honey Oud and Jovoy Psychédélique have a close profile.
