What does Untamed Oud smell like?

It opens with tar, rum and cumin, while coriander seed adds a spicy edge to that rough start. In the heart, narcissus absolute, honey and rose turn it floral and sweet, with apple and clove adding fruity and spicy touches. The base of oud, ambergris, vanilla absolute and tobacco settles into a warm, woody, smoky and animal trail.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, so it leaves a clear trace on the skin. Its dense, warm build suits men and women who like heavy oriental and oud fragrances.
