Oud Khôl

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. It reads masculine to most, though it is classed as unisex.

Oud and leathery notes dominate, with moss laying an earthy base. Aldehydes sharpen the edges a little, while praliné softens the spicy, resinous mood with a touch of sweetness. The synthetic, animal and oriental accords keep it dense and dark.
