What does Boss Collection - Damask Oud smell like?

It opens with saffron and white pepper, then moves into rose and frankincense. The rose softens the edges of the resinous frankincense. The base of papyrus, oud, gaiac wood and cedar settles into a dry, smoky, woody ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions, while summer is the least chosen season. It reads dense and masculine. Kajal Warek and Atelier Rebul Oud Noir have a close profile.
