What does Black Intensitive Aoud smell like?

It opens with peach for a fruity sweetness, while clove and chili add a spicy edge. The heart of rose lokum, saffron, jasmine and violet turns floral and slightly powdery. Oud, gurjum balsam and woody notes lead the base, and the whole dries down oriental, with a faint synthetic sheen.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, then spring, with summer well behind. It suits evenings and nights out better than the office. Votes for masculine and feminine sit close together, so it reads as truly in between. M. Micallef Glamour and Lancôme Magnifique (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
