What does Rose Oud smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening is the occasion that leads, though daily, business and leisure wear all draw votes too. Close to half of voters read it as feminine, while some see it as masculine.

It opens spicy with cardamom, rose leaf, cinnamon and saffron. Rose, jasmine and geranium form a floral heart. Sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli leave a woody, resinous, slightly earthy warmth in the base. Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir Intense and Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal have a close profile.
