What does Oudian smell like?

It opens with saffron, Sichuan pepper, durian fruit and tropical fruits, a sweet and spicy start. Frankincense and labdanum add resinous warmth in the heart, and oud, leather and vetiver close it with a woody, animalic, leathery character.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings or nights out. Masculine and modern votes lead, though a good share call it feminine, so it reads as a scent that ignores gender lines. Tom Ford Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) and Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá have a close profile.
