What does Majestic Aoud smell like?

Bergamot and rosemary open with a light freshness, then Grasse jasmine, osmanthus and May rose form a floral heart. In the base, oud, civet, castoreum, labdanum and vetiver dominate, pulling the scent toward the woody, spicy and animalic.

Voters find its longevity and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. More voters read it as masculine than feminine. Roja Parfums H - The Exclusive Aoud and Aoud Absolue Précieux have a close profile.
