What does Oud Fool Roses smell like?
Rose and oud form the core of the scent, while tangerine adds a fresh, fruity brightness. Labdanum brings a spicy, oriental warmth, and white musk wraps everything in a powdery softness. The floral and woody sides stay balanced, with the sweetness kept in the background.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring and summer further behind. It is chosen most for nights out and evenings. Voters lean slightly feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. Jo Malone Violet & Amber Absolu and Gritti Rialto have a close profile.
