What does Aoud Red Flowers smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is close behind. It is worn for nights out, leisure and evenings. Most voters read it as feminine, although it was released as unisex.

The scent reads as one whole rather than a sequence: a floral, fruity body with a spicy, oriental feel over it. Rose and pot marigold shape the floral side, saffron adds spice, and sandalwood and oud give a woody base. A synthetic edge runs alongside. Montale Aoud Safran and Ormonde Jayne Belle de Nuit have a close profile.
