What does Love Don't Be Shy Rose and Oud Special Blend 2022 smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, with most voters scoring both high. The number of votes is small, so this is only a rough impression. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women.

As a whole it reads as a sweet oriental: neroli adds freshness, rose softens it, and oud brings an earthy, smoky, slightly animalic weight. A synthetic sheen and a spicy sweetness wrap around it. Montale Aoud Safran and Cartier Oud & Rose have a close profile.
