What does Les Absolus d'Annick Goutal - 1001 Ouds smell like?

Rose and oud move together here: the floral side is softened by sweetness, while birch and gaiac wood lay down a smoky, woody base. Pepper adds a spicy edge, myrrh brings resinous, oriental warmth, and papyrus leaves a dry texture in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is mentioned most often for evenings and nights out. Votes on its character split between masculine and feminine, which fits its unisex label. Hind Al Oud Hind and Guerlain Santal Pao Rosa have a close profile.
