What does Burning for Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and leisure time and evenings come up most often. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is a unisex fragrance.

It opens with ginger and pink pepper spice softened by amber. In the heart, oud, Himalayan cedar, saffron and patchouli build a woody, earthy body. The base of frankincense, rum and papyrus leaves a resinous, sweet warmth. Lattafa Oud for Glory and Sospiro Farsa have a close profile.
