What does Oud Al Fares smell like?

It starts with mandarin orange and bergamot, and the citrus and fruity side leads for a short while. In the heart, bark and vanilla take over: the vanilla sweetens the scent while the bark lays an earthy, woody floor. In the base the two ouds dominate, and the spicy, resinous, oriental character comes through.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, and the rating is high, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, warm, oriental character suits evenings and cooler weather. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine.
