What does Oud Wood smell like?

It is rated strong in longevity and good in sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It reads masculine, with a classic feel.

It opens with angelica root, tobacco and Thai oud, then moves into patchouli, galbanum and gaiac wood. The base settles into birch tar, leather, benzoin, labdanum and vanilla, leaving a spicy, resinous and earthy trail with animal and oriental touches. Marc Gebauer Air Tiger and Parfums de Marly Hamdani have a close profile.
