What does Oud for Greatness Neo smell like?

It is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, while summer stays in the background. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and it also reaches into business and daily wear. Though unisex, most votes read it as masculine.

The scent rests on a woody, oriental frame: oud and saffron bring a spicy warmth, while fir balsam, lavender and bergamot add a fresh, green lift on top. Musk gathers everything on a soft, sweet base. Al Rehab Nafees and Maison Noblesse Oriental Tonka have a close profile.
