What does Candy Aoud smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean towards fall and winter and towards evening and night-out wear, while daily and office use trail behind. On character, masculine edges ahead of feminine by a small margin.

Bergamot and grapefruit give a bright first impression. In the heart, pear, apple, banana, blackcurrant and rose form a sweet, fruity face. Oud, patchouli, labdanum, frankincense and leathery notes dominate the base, leaving a woody, resinous, leathery depth. Roja Parfums O - The Exclusive Parfum and Roja Parfums Fruity Aoud have a close profile.
