What does Majestic Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters place it mostly on nights out, leisure time and evenings, with business and daily wear further behind. It reads as a masculine perfume.

The opening brings clove, cardamom and dried fig, while jasmine and rose absolute add a soft floral touch in the heart. The base settles on Indonesian oud, gaiac wood, labdanum and musk, giving the resinous, earthy and smoky feel. A synthetic accord also runs through it. Its profile is close to Filippo Sorcinelli LAVS and Comme des Garçons Wonderoud.
