What does Oud Or smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads mainly masculine and classic. Lattafa Mohra and Penhaligon's As Sawira share a close profile.
It opens with rose, orange blossom and raspberry, a floral and fruity sweetness. In the heart, patchouli, labdanum and saffron add a spicy, resinous warmth. As it dries, vanilla, cedarwood, gaiac wood and oud settle the sweetness onto a woody, smoky base.
