What does Oud Cashmere Mood smell like?

Laotian oud, Siam benzoin, Moroccan labdanum and vanilla form the core. Sweetness leads throughout, with spicy and woody accords keeping it in check. Earthy, smoky and leathery tones, plus a faint animal edge, darken its oriental character.

Most voters pick it for winter and fall, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Voters read it as more masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Ahjaar Ivory Pearl and Stéphane Humbert Lucas Ô Hira have a close profile.
