What does Aoud Black Candy smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer trails far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits leisure time. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between.

Black liquorice and mint open sweet and cool. In the heart, rose, amber and woody notes pull that sweetness in a floral, spicy direction. In the base, oud and white musk settle it into a gourmand, oriental warmth.
