What does Modern Oud smell like?

Lemon and bergamot bring a citrus brightness alongside aquatic notes. In the heart, tomato leaf adds green, while cypress and juniper berry give a spicy, woody feel. The base of cashmere wood, oud, nagarmotha and hinoki wood leaves an earthy, resinous trail, with the fresh side carrying a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, then winter, and favour it for leisure, evenings and nights out. It is restrained enough for the office too. Atelier des Ors Riviera Lazuli and Lalique Encre Noire Sport have a close profile.
