Rosewood is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage, though the number of votes behind both is small, so those ratings are a rough guide. Its unisex character makes it wearable on anyone.
Pink pepper gives a spicy first impression. The heart pairs oud with rose absolute and rose, so the floral side sits on a woody, smoky footing. Frankincense, patchouli and sandalwood carry it into a resinous, powdery, oriental warmth. Tom Ford Oud Fleur and Dior Oud Ispahan (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
