What does Red Aoud smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so people nearby will notice it. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn most often in the evening or on a night out. It is unisex, with feminine and masculine votes close together.

It opens with pepper and oud, and the heart fills out with cumin, saffron and rose. In the base, Haitian vetiver, tonka bean and Mysore sandalwood take over. Floral, fruity and gourmand accords sweeten the whole. Its profile is close to Zimaya Taraf (black) and Birkholz Amber Oud.
