What does Oud Orient smell like?

It opens with benzoin and frankincense, which give a warm, resinous start. Patchouli adds an earthy depth in the heart, and sandalwood and vanilla carry the base into a woody, gourmand sweetness. Spicy, powdery, smoky and leathery touches strengthen the oriental character.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for evenings and nights out, with some votes for daytime, leisure and business. It reads masculine. Molinard Vanille Patchouli and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.
