What does Indy Oud smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base: Indian oud, patchouli and resins build a woody, earthy body. Tuberose adds a soft floral touch, mint and grapefruit bring freshness, and valerian leaves a green, animal shadow. The spicy, oriental side and the musk keep it warm.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It sits comfortably on both men and women and suits those who like oud. Electimuss Fortuna and Maison Anthony Marmin Oud Assam have a close profile.
