What does Acqua Oud smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than in stages. Bergamot, lime, pineapple and melon bring a fruity brightness, while marine notes and red seagrass push the watery side forward. Oud, patchouli absolute and vetiver add a woody, slightly oriental weight underneath that freshness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It leans masculine. Lattafa Blue Oud and Rasasi Hope for Men have a close profile.
