Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Talks even from the shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

SmokyWhat does Incense Oud smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It reads more masculine to voters, though a fair number call it feminine. It has been discontinued.
The top opens with rose, pink pepper, cardamom and geranium, spice and flowers together. The heart brings cedarwood, patchouli, papyrus and grapefruit, and the scent turns woody and earthy. The base of labdanum, sandalwood, oakmoss, frankincense and musk settles into a resinous, sweet and smoky footing. Moresque Oroluna and Parfums de Marly Nisean have a close profile.
