What does Aroha Kyaku (Pure Parfum) smell like?

It reads as one dense whole: Papua, Cambodian and Sumatran oud form the core, with sandalwood and oakmoss giving a woody, earthy base. Cinnamon and clove add spice, tobacco and castoreum bring a leathery, animal edge, and rose and frangipani keep the floral side soft.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour leisure and evening wear; many read it as masculine or classic. Ensar Oud Tigerwood (Pure Parfum) and Ensar Oud Tigerlust: Kanbojia have a close profile.
