What does Aoud Legend smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes third and summer trails behind. It leans towards evening and night out, and reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, with votes split between the two.

Laotian oud, leather and patchouli carry the weight, while sandalwood and vetiver set a woody base. Saffron and rose add a spicy, floral edge, and benzoin, labdanum and frankincense bring resinous warmth. Oakmoss and ambergris round it off with an earthy, animalic depth.
