What does Oud & Rose smell like?

It opens with bergamot and peony for a light brightness, then rose and cedar take the heart. Oud, patchouli and vanilla gather in the base; the scent turns sweeter and settles into a powdery, resinous warmth, with the oriental side weighing heaviest.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. The dense, warm build suits cooler weather best. Dior Ambre Nuit (Eau de Parfum) and Floris Honey Oud have a close profile.
