What does Oud Provocant smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters score them high, though the number of votes is small. With no season or occasion data to go on, little can be said about when to wear it; its dense, oriental character suggests cooler weather. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with frankincense, grapefruit and saffron: the grapefruit adds a slight lift, while saffron and frankincense bring a spicy, resinous feel. Rose, patchouli and labdanum lead the heart. The base of ambergris, Indian oud, moss and cypriol settles into an earthy, woody floor. Montale Aoud Legend and MAD Parfumeur Ombre have a close profile.
