What does Crazy for Oud smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. Evening, leisure and daily wear get similar votes, while office wear gets few. Feminine edges ahead of masculine in the votes, though both are well represented, so it sits between the two.

The top holds Laotian oud, bergamot and leather. The heart is Bulgarian rose, violet, magnolia and patchouli, with tiramisu adding a gourmand sweetness to the floral core. The base of amber, vanilla and white musk is soft, powdery and creamy, while oakmoss and woody notes give it a dry backbone.
