What does Enigma Aoud (Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter close behind, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out, then for leisure. Votes lean somewhat feminine, though a good share call it masculine.

It opens with aldehydes and bergamot, and the heart brings ylang-ylang, Grasse jasmine, May rose and peach, the peach softening the flowers with a fruity sweetness. In the base, oud, vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood give a woody, creamy, powdery warmth.
