What does Cristal Oud smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, spring comes third and summer trails well behind. It is picked mostly for evenings and nights out, with some room for leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine.

Rose opens with a soft floral touch. Frankincense in the heart adds a resinous, smoky layer, and the oud base dries down woody, spicy and sweet. The overall impression is warm, dense and oriental.
