Oud Laqué

It starts with dried fruits and cardamom; the heart brings geranium, clove and leather, the clove adding spice and the leather a firmer edge. The base settles into gurjum balsam, gaiac wood and benzoin, a resinous, woody, powdery floor that softens the sweetness. Fruity and gourmand tones sit over the oriental line with a creamy layer.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the vote counts are small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads equally well on men and women as a unisex scent. Its profile is close to Givenchy Pi Extreme and Armani Code Profumo.
