Oud Dukhan / Al-Dukhan

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring has a fair share too. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, with others calling it classic or modern.

Cardamom, aldehydes and black pepper give the opening a spicy, slightly sharp edge. In the heart, oud and frankincense resin take over, and the scent turns woody, resinous and smoky. White musk and ambergris in the base soften it, leaving the synthetic and oriental tones smoother as it dries. Rasasi Ashaar pour Homme and Montale Bakhoor have a close profile.
