What does Steam Aoud smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. Leisure, evening and daytime wear come out about evenly. Most voters read it as masculine, with a fair number finding it feminine.

The scent is built entirely from oud, rose, amber and caraway. Over an oriental, spicy body, woody, earthy, smoky and leathery tones dominate, while the floral and fresh sides stay in the background and a synthetic edge shows through. Oud and caraway lead, with rose and amber softening them. Massimo Dutti Red Evening and Swiss Arabian Shadha have a close profile.
