What does Indonesian Oud (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The notes read as one piece rather than in stages: oud and patchouli lay down an earthy, resinous base, while amberwood keeps it warm and oriental. Rose adds a soft floral touch, and bergamot lends a little freshness to the heavy texture. Spicy and animalic tones deepen the smoky feel.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most see it as masculine, with some calling it classic. Dior Oud Ispahan and Tom Ford Oud Fleur have a close profile.
