What does Monsieur Oud (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters find its staying power high. It sits in a unisex register without leaning toward a masculine or feminine reading.

It opens fresh and spicy with yuzu, bergamot and pink pepper, while fir balsam and petitgrain add a green edge. The heart brings floral softness from jasmine, iris and orange blossom, and the base dries down earthy and resinous on oud, aloe and sandalwood. Ensar Oud Monsieur Oud Attar and Etro Shaal Nur have a close profile.
