What does London Oud smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest spring and summer, with autumn a close second. It is picked most for leisure and daily wear, with business and evening also getting votes. Most voters read it as masculine, with classic next.
Citrus and spearmint carry the bright opening, then marine notes, jasmine, white blossoms and lavender turn that freshness floral and aquatic in the heart. At the base, nutmeg, cardamom, patchouli, cedarwood and oud settle into a spicy, woody backdrop. Fragrance Du Bois London Spice and The Dua Brand British Oud have a close profile.
