What does Oud 27 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Saffron and black pepper give it a warm, spiced frame, while oud and frankincense build a resinous, smoky core. Atlas cedar and gaiac wood harden the woody base, and patchouli adds an earthy weight. The leathery and animal tones keep it dark and rough rather than soft.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, though it is sold as unisex. Gucci The Voice of the Snake and Guerlain Oud Essentiel have a close profile.
