What does Oud Symphony smell like?

Its longevity is rated good while its sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters rate the longevity high, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide.

The notes read together rather than in stages: honey absolute, praliné and tonka bean bring the sweetness, while rose absolute, jasmine sambac and osmanthus add a floral softness. Oud, patchouli and frankincense form a woody, spicy base, blackcurrant and passion fruit add a fruity brightness, and rum lends a warm edge. The creamy, oriental side leads.
