Midnight Oud

It opens with birch tar beside rose; the heart brings oud, cedar, patchouli and labdanum forward. In the base, gaiac wood, castoreum and vanilla soften it. The accords also include floral, spicy, resinous and leathery tones, and the overall impression is heavy, earthy and animalic.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out leading and the office a distant choice. Most voters call it feminine, though a fair share find it masculine. Dior Oud Ispahan and Nishane Mana have a close profile.
