What does Rose Oud Absolu smell like?

Its sillage is rated good, though that rests on only a handful of votes. It wears without leaning masculine or feminine, in a plainly unisex way. There is no season or occasion information, so it is hard to say when it suits best.

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base. Turkish rose carries the floral side, while oud and frankincense add a woody, earthy depth. Cardamom and coriander bring a spicy dryness, and a fruity touch softens the rose with some sweetness.
