What does Oud Noir Intense smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring comes next, and few choose summer. Evening and night out lead the occasions, with leisure and business also possible. Voters lean masculine, though it is unisex.

Bergamot and cardamom open it, while rose and jasmine add a soft floral heart. The base settles into oud, saffron, amber and vanilla, giving a sweet, resinous, oriental warmth, with an animal accord and woody texture lending it a dark character. Pekji Ruh and N.C.P. 706 - Saffron & Oud have a close profile.
