OrientalWhat does Rose Oud smell like?
It opens with Bulgarian rose, saffron and cinnamon, and the heart of rose absolute is softened by lychee. Nagarmotha, Atlas cedar and leather settle underneath. The floral and sweet sides lead, while spicy and woody accords give it depth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn more in the evening and on nights out. Voters lean slightly feminine, but a sizeable share call it masculine, so it sits between the two. Maison Noblesse Oriental Tonka and Louis Vuitton Les Sables Roses have a close profile.
