What does Hautbois smell like?

Hautbois wears with strong longevity and strong sillage; voters rate both highly, though the vote count is small, so this impression is tentative. Being unisex, it suits anyone who wants a dense scent that is noticed in a room.

It opens with Ceylonese cinnamon, ylang-ylang and chamomile. In the heart, cypriol, Provençal honey, Australian sandalwood, Haitian vetiver and gaiac wood form a woody, earthy body that the honey sweetens. The base of Indonesian patchouli, Oud Assafi™, cistus absolute and Woodleather® leaves a resinous, animalic, leathery trail. Its profile is close to Santi Burgas Oud de Burgas and Amouage Opus XIII - Silver Oud.
