What does Ubuntu smell like?

Oud and sandalwood form a woody frame, while honey, cocoa and vanilla soften it with a gourmand sweetness. Saffron adds spice, civet and deer musk bring an animal, creamy warmth, and ambergris lends a resinous depth.

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are tentative. Its dense build suits cooler weather. It has a close profile to Devoti Peccatori and Vanilla CO₂ & Oud.
