Gourmand Bakhoor Dehn Al Oud

It opens with amaretto, burnt caramel and vanilla, a sweet gourmand layer. Honey, almond and cocoa follow in the heart, making it denser and more dessert-like. In the base, Laotian oud brings spicy, woody, animal and leathery tones that darken the sweetness underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the small number of votes means this should be read with caution. It has a heavy oriental character and suits men and women alike. Une Nuit Nomade Estrella de la Mañana and Zara Bohemian Oud have a close profile.
