What does Oud Praline smell like?

Cardamom, red ginger and coriander give it a spiced edge, while caramel and roasted nuts carry a gourmand sweetness. Oud adds a woody, smoky depth. The overall impression is sweet and oriental, yet the sweetness is held in check by the oud rather than turning heavy.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong. It is most often suggested for evenings and nights out, with leisure time next. Votes split fairly evenly between masculine and feminine. Lush Cardamom Coffee and Mancera Aoud Café have a close profile.
