What does Crystal Aoud smell like?

Mandarin orange, melon and green apple open it fresh and fruity. In the heart, teakwood, oud and patchouli set a woody, smoky base, and vanilla, saffron and white musk sweeten and soften the dry-down. A synthetic tone also shows among the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening are the most chosen occasions. Slightly more voters call it feminine, but a sizeable share call it masculine, so it can be worn by either. Brioni Brioni (Eau de Parfum Intense) and Armaf Hunter Killer have a close profile.
