What does Graphite Oud Edition smell like?

It opens fruity, floral and sweet with lychee, Persian rose and raspberry. In the heart, almond, rose absolute and ylang-ylang push that sweetness toward the gourmand. The base of vetiver, cashmere wood and oud adds an earthy, smoky, resinous woodiness, while spicy and leathery touches round out the oriental character.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without filling the room. With its sweet, oriental build, it suits cooler weather best. It is classed as a men's fragrance.
