What does Oud Chaotique smell like?

The notes read as one whole: Assam oud and fossilised amber lay a woody, resinous base, while La Réunion vanilla and benzoin pull it towards a gourmand sweetness. Ylang-ylang adds a soft floral touch, cedarwood and rosewood carry a dry, spicy woodiness, and the animal accord gives the warm picture a rougher edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. It is a dense, oriental scent that suits both men and women. Al Haramain Oudh 36 and Emper Best Dark Oud have a close profile.
