What does Guilty Oud smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, so it stays on skin for hours and carries well around the wearer. It suits men and women alike, with a heavy, full-bodied character.

Oud, leather and patchouli form a woody, animalic backbone. Bulgarian rose and blackberry soften that harder base with a floral, fruity sweetness, while pink pepper adds spice. Amber and cypriol leave a warm, powdery, creamy oriental feel. Its profile is close to Xerjoff Soprano and Thameen Rivière.
