What does Oud 31 smell like?

Oud, amber and sandalwood form a woody-oriental backbone. Cardamom and spices add a warm sharpness, while vanilla and musk soften the sweetness into something creamy. Jasmine and rose bring a floral touch, and orris root and lavender leave a faintly powdery edge.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings or nights out; summer plays a minor part. More voters find it masculine than feminine, though a fair number read it as feminine, so it works either way.
