Oud Cuiré

Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though few people have rated them, so take that as a rough guide. Its spicy, oriental build suits cooler weather, and the heavy, woody character works equally on men and women.

It opens sweet and fruity with almond, plum, honeysuckle and apricot. At the heart, Italian leather meets floral and sweet notes, and the base of Cambodian oud and smoked wood turns earthy and animalic. Montale Oudrising and Mazzolari Lui have a close profile.
