What does Sand Aoud smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening are the most chosen occasions. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine.

It opens with blackcurrant liqueur and spices. Saffron, frankincense and rose form the heart. The base leans on oud, vanilla and patchouli, softened by white musk. The accords are woody, spicy and resinous, with a fruity and floral side set over an earthy, smoky ground.
