What does Oud Island smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with fewer choosing winter. It is chosen most for leisure, and also gets votes for nights out and business. It reads more masculine to most voters, though a fair number find it feminine.

Citrus comes first: lemon, bergamot, tangerine. In the heart, tiaré and Indian tuberose add a floral side, balanced by black leather, sandalwood and oud. The base of musk, tobacco, vanilla, amber and labdanum settles it into a sweet, warm finish.
