What does Musk Oud smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It reads somewhat more masculine, though it stays unisex in character.

Spices, rose, patchouli and geranium gather around oud and musk, while davana and rum add a warm, sweet note. Citrus and fresh accords lighten the woody and earthy side, and oriental and animal touches give it depth. Electimuss Fortuna and Yas Perfumes Oud Yas have a close profile.
