Oud Zayed / عود زايد

The notes read as one block rather than in stages: the resinous, earthy and slightly animalic side of oud leads, amber adds warmth, and cashmere wood softens the woody base. Green and spicy accents loosen the heavier picture, while a chypre dryness gives the scent its backbone.

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so take that with caution. It is dense and noticeable, so it sits more comfortably in cooler weather and in the evening. It is not tied to either gender and suits anyone who likes oud.
