What does 2. Nawab of Oudh Intensivo smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. Evening, night out and leisure lead the occasions, while daily and business wear aren't far off. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine.

It opens with cardamom, bergamot and orange absolute alongside green notes. The heart carries magnolia, rose and orchid for the floral side, with cinnamon and pimento adding spice. In the base, oud, vetiver and labdanum settle into a warm, sweetish woodiness, softened by musk and ambergris. Ormonde Jayne 2. Nawab of Oudh Parfum has a close profile.
