What does Strictly Oud smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good, so it stays on skin for a long time and projects comfortably. Its unisex build suits both men and women. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are only a rough guide.

Saffron and Turkish rose open it, setting a spicy start softened by a floral touch. Oud takes the heart, with sandalwood and frankincense underneath. The oriental and animal accords give it its dark, heavy side. The Dua Brand Dawn and Alexandria Fragrances Sahara Nights have a close profile.
