What does Oud Seven smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring follows, and summer barely gets a mention. Evenings and nights out suit it best. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic.

The scent is woody, earthy and resinous. Bangladeshian oud, Haitian vetiver and Indonesian patchouli build a dry, woody base. Balkans tobacco absolute and Spanish labdanum absolute add a smoky, animal warmth, while amber brings sweetness. Egyptian violet leaf absolute adds a green edge that softens the weight.
