What does Oud Jasmin smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though few have voted on them. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and summer is the least chosen. It suits men and women alike and comes into its own in cool weather.

It opens with saffron, cardamom and clove for spicy warmth, softened by the floral sweetness of ylang-ylang. The heart brings jasmine sambac, tuberose and rose over a woody base of cedarwood and Burmese oud. The base of oud, benzoin, vetiver and ambergris leaves a resinous, animal depth. Royal Crown Oud Al Melka and Arabian Oud Najd have a close profile.
