What does Golden Oud smell like?

It opens with Bulgarian rose beside frankincense, the floral side kept in check by a resinous firmness. In the heart, oud and papyrus lay down a woody, smoky base. Cetalox and amyris carry that woodiness into the base, while sweet, spicy and leathery tones stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is favoured most for evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is classed as unisex. D.S. & Durga Notorious Oud and Serge Lutens Cuir mauresque have a close profile.
