What does Hand in Hand - Rose & Oudh smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, cardamom and coriander, which give it a spicy brightness. In the heart, rose, geranium and galbanum carry the floral and green sides together. The base of vetiver, oud and leather settles into a woody, resinous, leathery ground, while sweet and oriental touches soften its edges.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean towards night out, leisure and evening wear, with business and daily use further behind. Nishane Shem and Penhaligon's Halfeti have a close profile.
