What does Oud Noir smell like?

Saffron, raspberry and spicy notes start it off, a fruity sweetness set against a sharp spiciness. In the heart, rose, cypriol and frankincense add a floral and smoky side. The base of amber, oud and patchouli grounds it in a woody, earthy and slightly leathery finish.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. On character, masculine leads, followed by classic. Mystery and Zimaya Ilham al Oud have a close profile.
