What does Osang smell like?

It opens soft and sweet with meadow flowers, heliotrope and honey, while fenugreek absolute adds a faintly herbal edge. In the heart, myrrh, benzoin and labdanum build a resinous warmth, with Sichuan pepper and nutmeg bringing spice. The base of amber, oud and animalic musk pulls it toward an earthy, smoky, creamy finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is favoured for evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit almost level, so it reads as balanced between the two. Dior Oud Ispahan (Eau de Parfum) and LM Parfums Black Oud (Extrait de Parfum) have a close profile.
