What does Black Oud (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with black pepper, coffee and frankincense, then moves to leather, liquorice and birch in the heart. Oud, vetiver and cedarwood dominate the base, with frankincense returning there. The overall impression is dark, resinous, earthy and slightly animalic, more dry and leathery than sweet.

Those who rated it find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Its heavy, dense character suits people who like woody and oriental fragrances, and it reads equally well on men and women. Ramón Monegal Agar Musk and Montale Dark Aoud have a close profile.
