What does Outcast Blue (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Saffron and black pepper lead the top, and the lily of the valley in the heart softens them slightly. In the base, oud, tobacco, vetiver and moss build an earthy, smoky foundation, while sandalwood adds a woody sweetness. The accords mix fresh, sweet, resinous and leathery tones.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night outs and evenings the most common occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as a unisex scent. Montale Dark Aoud and Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
