SmokyWhat does Bois Étoilé / Oud smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either side.
It opens with rose and pink pepper, and cardamom and saffron deepen the heart with spice. The base gathers amber, patchouli and oud, leaving a resinous, earthy, smoky woodiness under the floral sweetness. Tom Ford Oud Fleur and Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
