What does Incense Oud smell like?

It opens with bergamot, orange, saffron and cypriol, bright yet spiced. Jasmine, frankincense and cedarwood form a woody heart, and the dry-down of vetiver, patchouli, leather and oud turns animalic and leathery.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer trails far behind. It suits daytime and office wear as well as evenings. It leans slightly masculine, though many voters call it feminine. Aura-Soma 30 - Oudh Incense and Parfums de Marly Haltane have a close profile.
