What does Oud on Fire smell like?

The scent reads as a single whole: Laotian oud and cedarwood build a woody frame, while cinnamon and black pepper add a warm spice. Fir balsam and patchouli bring an earthy, slightly resinous tone; cashmeran, vanilla and tonka bean soften the edges into a powdery sweetness. Rose and geranium stay in the background.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. Its dense, smoky character suits cooler weather and evenings best. Oud on Fire works on both men and women.
