What does 1 Million Golden Oud smell like?

It opens with bergamot and spices, then gurjum balsam, patchouli and sandalwood soften the middle. Leather, cistus, cedarwood and oud form the base. The overall impression is sweet, resinous and leathery.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Most voters read its character as masculine. Fragrance World Million Golden Oud and Parfums de Marly Haltane have a close profile.
