What does Oud Silk Mood (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and summer is rarely chosen. It suits evenings and nights out more than days at the office. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

Chamomile, papyrus, oud and Bulgarian damask rose absolute work together: the rose and chamomile add a fresh floral lift, while oud and papyrus build a dry, resinous base. Sweetness and spice give it an oriental feel without turning heavy. Lanvin Les Notes de Lanvin - II: Oud & Rose and Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (Cologne Intense) have a close profile.
