What does Nepal Aoud smell like?

The opening leans on oud, nutmeg and saffron, spicy and resinous. In the heart, amber and Bulgarian rose pull it toward floral and sweet, while white musk, leather and vanilla set an animal, leathery, sweet base. The overall impression is oriental, woody and a little earthy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring next, and it is favored for nights out and evenings. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it reads open to both. Mancera Aoud Exclusif and Lattafa Oud Mood Elixir have a close profile.
