SmokyWhat does Oud Violet Intense smell like?
The opening pairs black pepper, elemi resin and mandarin orange, with the citrus brightness held in check by spice. In the heart, tonka bean, nutmeg and frankincense sweeten it and add a resinous warmth. The base of musk, cistus, amber and oud settles into a woody, oriental, smoky finish.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Votes on its character split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. It has been discontinued. Fragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud have a close profile.
