What does Cuir Andalou smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, while summer is rarely chosen. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as unisex.

It opens with neroli, saffron and leather; the heart brings rose, violet, patchouli, iris and more leather, settling onto oud and sandalwood. The accords are floral, spicy and woody, with leathery, smoky and earthy edges that make it heavy and warm. Zara Sensual Oud and L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh have a close profile.
