What does Oud Star / Oudh Star smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters split it almost evenly between leisure, evening, daily wear and nights out, with the office trailing. It has been discontinued.

It opens with gurjum balsam and lily of the valley; Indonesian oud, tolu balm and tonka bean take the heart. The base settles into oud, musk, vanilla, labdanum and sandalwood. A spicy, creamy and leathery side mixes with earthy, animal tones. Xerjoff Malesia and Rogue Derviche have a close profile.
