What does Aoud Musk smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter; evening and night out lead the occasions, while summer is the least favoured season. Most read it as masculine, though some call it classic or feminine.

Oud, musk and ebony dominate, with saffron adding spice, vetiver an earthy edge and ambergris softening the warmth. The overall impression is sweet, spicy, woody and resinous, with a smoky, animalic darkness underneath. Yves Saint Laurent M7 and Liquides Imaginaires Fortis have a close profile.
