What does Collezione Privata - Essenza di Aoud smell like?

It opens with spices, and the heart brings cashmere wood and frankincense. The base of amber, musk, oud and cedarwood sets the scent on an earthy, animalic and smoky footing. The overall impression is dry, woody and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Its character reads mostly masculine and classic. Rasasi Oudh Siufi and Al Haramain Obsessive Oudh have a close profile.
