What does Best Dark Oud smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong: it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around the wearer. Its dense build suits cooler days and evenings better than hot weather, and it reads equally well on men and women.

Turkish rose, violet and vanilla open on a floral, sweet note, and Bulgarian rose leads the heart. In the base, oud, amber, benzoin and geranium take over, with gourmand, spicy, creamy and animal shades among the accords. Blend Oud Oud Sapphire and Ministry of Oud Oud Satin have a close profile.
