What does Aoud Damascus smell like?

Damask rose, frankincense, gurjum balsam and Arabian oud read as one piece. A sweet, floral rose meets a woody, resinous oud, and smoky, leathery, oriental tones weigh heavily over it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and nights out and evenings lead the occasions. It reads somewhat more masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Bvlgari Le Gemme - Garanat and Mauboussin Cristal Oud have a close profile.
