What does Aoud Sense smell like?

It opens with sharp clove and black pepper, softened by the fruity brightness of Calabrian mandarin orange and Calabrian orange. In the heart, oud and Bulgarian rose lead, and the floral, sweet tones meet a woody, resinous base. Haitian vetiver closes it with a dry, woody line.

Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Votes for leisure, night out, business and evening are spread almost evenly. Most voters find it feminine, though some read it as masculine. Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (Cologne Intense) and Morph Arles have a close profile.
