What does Louban smell like?

Louban has very strong longevity and strong sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though daytime wear is possible. Though unisex, voters read it as somewhat more feminine.

Musk, oud, Indian sandalwood, violet leaf, Indonesian patchouli and Turkish rose sit together. The rose and violet leaf carry the floral and green side, while oud, sandalwood and patchouli add a woody, resinous depth. Musk settles it onto a soft, powdery base. Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Indian Oud and Arabian Oud Majestic Special Oud have a close profile.
