What does Rose Oud smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, with summer well behind. Evening comes first, though daily, office and leisure wear all get votes. More voters read it as feminine, but a fair share call it masculine.

Lemon and elemi resin give a fresh opening in the top. Moroccan rose and geranium form the floral heart. Oud, amber and Indonesian patchouli leave a sweet, spicy, earthy and smoky base.
