What does Exotic Oud smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, so it lasts on skin and carries into the room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike.
It opens with saffron, raspberry and passion fruit, fruity and sweet. Coffee, frankincense and rose form the heart, moving the scent toward a resinous, oriental feel. Oud, vanilla and leather sit in the base, settling into a smoky, leathery and sweet woodiness.
