What does Aoud Shiny smell like?

Bulgarian rose leads at the start. In the heart, nagarmotha and violet leaf add a green, slightly earthy edge to the rose. Sandalwood and patchouli settle underneath as a woody base. Sweet, spicy and oriental accords run through it as well.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out are the favoured occasions. Though classed as unisex, voters lean toward a feminine character. Kilian Rose Oud and Tom Ford Café Rose have a close profile.
