What does Blue Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter next and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and also works for business and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine.

The opening is fresh and aquatic, with bergamot and marine notes, while black pepper adds spice. In the heart, cashmeran and lavender soften it and give it a woody footing. The base of oud, amber and vanilla leaves a sweet, oriental trail, with a fruity and slightly synthetic edge running through.
