What does Ottoman Ambergris: Oud Royale Absolu smell like?

The notes read as one whole. Borneo, Papua, Vietnamese and Chinese oud form a woody, smoky backbone, which Peru balsam and Bourbon vanilla sweeten. Rose, osmanthus and mimosa add a soft floral side, while black tea and blond tobacco bring a dry, spicy edge.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and very few choose summer. It suits those who like dense, heavy scents on either gender. Ensar Oud Ottoman Ambergris Assam Sultan and Xerjoff More Than Words have a close profile.
