What does Oud Flamboyant smell like?

The notes carry no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one whole from start to finish. Oud and leather form a woody, leathery frame, and labdanum softens it with a resinous, oriental warmth. The spicy and smoky accords keep it dry and dark rather than sweet.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes that a rough guide. It is unisex, leaning neither masculine nor feminine. Chopard Black Incense Malaki and Maison Margiela Under the Stars have a close profile.
