What does Oud Sultani: Brunei Kynam smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Half of the voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex in character.

Burmese, Brunei and Malayan oud build a resinous, smoky, earthy backbone. Rose and orris root bring the floral side, Bourbon vanilla adds sweetness, and castoreum lends an animal warmth. Spicy and creamy touches give it a dense oriental feel. Oud Sultani: Surira and Oud Sultani Terengganu from the same line have a close profile.
