Rude Oud

Saffron and raspberry open it, so spice and fruit arrive together. Leather and rose form the heart, and amber with oud settles into a woody, resinous base. The sweetness never takes over, and the leathery, woody side stays present throughout.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, then winter, while summer gets very few votes. Evenings and nights out lead, with daily and office wear well behind. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between. Lattafa Rouat Al Oud and Brogi Not Usual have a close profile.
