What does 2. Nawab of Oudh Parfum smell like?

The top pairs cardamom, bergamot and orange absolute with green notes for a crisp start. In the heart, magnolia, rose, cinnamon and pimento add floral and spicy warmth. Oud, labdanum and vetiver lead the base, while musk and ambergris soften its sweet, resinous texture.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are fairly close, so it sits comfortably between the two. Ormonde Jayne 2. Nawab of Oudh Intensivo and Ormonde Jayne Black Gold have a close profile.
