What does Oud smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. It reads closer to masculine, though some voters call it classic.

Saffron opens with a spicy note. In the heart, styrax, fir balsam and myrrh build a resinous weight, while oud, patchouli and gaiac wood carry the woody, earthy and smoky base. Green and animal touches stay in the background. Moresque Aurum and Gucci The Voice of the Snake have a close profile.
