What does Fleur de Oud smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most of those who rated its lasting power say it stays on the skin for a long time. It reads unisex, neither clearly masculine nor feminine.

Lemon, green mandarin orange and jasmine give a fresh, floral opening. In the heart, Malayan and Thai oud, rose otto, leather and peach come forward, and the base of caramel, amber, tobacco and fruit chewing gum adds a sweet, resinous warmth. The animal and leathery tones balance the fresh citrus side.
