What does Oud smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer well back. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and most voters read it as masculine.

Black pepper and saffron give it a spicy warmth, frankincense adds a resinous edge and leather a smoky one. Vetiver and patchouli lay down an earthy, slightly green base. Amber, vanilla and tonka bean soften that dryness, while neroli and bitter orange stay in the background.
