SmokyWhat does Oud Black smell like?
Most voters pick winter and fall, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and it reads as masculine.
Vetiver opens green and earthy, with frankincense adding a resinous weight in the heart. In the base, benzoin sweetens while patchouli keeps it dry and earthy. Spicy, oriental and animal accords keep the whole warm and dense.
