LeatheryWhat does Pearl Oud smell like?
It opens with black pepper, iris and saffron, giving a sharp, dry spice. In the heart, Turkish rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang bring the floral side; the base of Indian oud, castoreum and patchouli leaves a resinous, leathery, animal warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. In the character votes, masculine and classic readings lead, while modern and feminine trail behind. Nishane Mana and Amouage Opus IX have a close profile.
