What does Aoud Melody smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring next and summer the least chosen season. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it is also worn in leisure time and during the day. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it doesn't lean either way.

It opens with clove, oud, elemi resin, saffron and leather. In the heart, rose, ylang-ylang and Egyptian jasmine add a soft floral layer. The base of Mysore sandalwood, cedarwood and amber settles into a woody, sweet, powdery ground. Fragrance Du Bois Rude Oud and Franck Muller Aeternitas have a close profile.
