What does Aoud Lavender smell like?

It is rated strong in longevity and good in sillage. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side. Al Rehab Chelsea Man (Perfume Oil) and Saint Hilaire Private Black have a close profile.

It opens with bergamot, Calabrian lemon and saffron alongside lavender, fresh yet spicy. The heart brings Sumatran patchouli and floral notes, turning earthy and floral. The base of oud, amber, Mysore sandalwood and white musk settles into a sweet, resinous, powdery foundation.
