What does Aoud Line smell like?

It opens with vanilla, Laotian oud and Turkish rose, the rose bringing a floral side and the vanilla a sweet one. In the heart, patchouli and woody notes pull the scent towards the earth, and amber and raspberry leave a warm, resinous, fruity finish. Spicy, powdery and slightly animalic tones round out the oriental feel.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and nights out and evenings lead the occasions. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though the feminine vote is sizeable, so it reads as something in between. Al-Jazeera Magic Night and Dior Midnight Poison Elixir have a close profile.
