What does Amber Oud smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn most often for evenings and nights out. More voters find it feminine, though a good number read it as masculine.

It opens with bergamot, plum and spices alongside ylang-ylang. Rose and tuberose give the heart a soft floral touch. In the base, patchouli, oud and amber lead, and the scent settles into a warm, woody, resinous, slightly powdery and earthy finish. Kilian Amber Oud and Arabian Oud Oriental Oud have a close profile.
