The notes read as one piece: cedar and sandalwood form a woody frame, frankincense adds resinous warmth, and saffron brings the spice. The animal and leathery edge of the oud roughens the blend and gives it a smoky air.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The vote count is small, so these impressions are tentative. It suits anyone who likes leathery, resinous scents; Ministry of Oud Strictly Oud and House of Orpheus Guru Deva have a close profile.
