What does Thailand Oud in Cairo smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters score longevity high. There are no season or occasion votes, but its heavy build suits cooler weather and evenings, and it reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine.

It opens with leather, cinnamon and cardamom, a warm spiciness. The heart adds myrrh, tobacco, frankincense and Atlas cedar, resinous and smoky. In the base, Thai and Cambodian oud rest on earthy patchouli and cypriol, drying down sweet and woody. Xerjoff Luxor and Dior Fahrenheit Absolute have a close profile.
