What does Aoud Ever smell like?

The citrus and fresh accords come from bergamot and lemon grass, with lavender adding a herbal edge. Saffron and black pepper carry the spice, while oud lays down a woody, resinous, earthy and slightly leathery base. There is a sweet, oriental tone too, and the synthetic accord gives the blend a faintly metallic sheen.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and evening and leisure lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Zimaya Al Kaser and Hackett English Oud have a close profile.
