What does Gold Intensitive Aoud smell like?

It opens with Calabrian lemon, fresh and citrusy. Towards the heart, rose, geranium, saffron and oud come forward, and the floral side leans on a spicy, resinous woodiness. White musk and ambergris sit underneath, softening and sweetening the scent.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it is chosen mostly for nights out, leisure time and evenings. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it sits in between. Montale Aoud Purple Rose and Montale Aoud Flowers have a close profile.
