What does Greatest smell like?

It opens with saffron, nutmeg and lavender, a spicy, lightly aromatic start. Oud takes over in the heart, while patchouli and musk settle it onto an earthy, creamy base. Floral and powdery touches soften the animal and smoky sides.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, though with few votes this is only a first impression. Its dense, heavy character suits cooler weather and evenings best. Those after a similar profile may also look at Initio Oud for Greatness and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Royale.
