What does Oud Bulgare / Privé N°4 smell like?

It opens on French cistus, and the heart brings patchouli, Bulgarian rose and saffron. The rose is sharpened by saffron's spice and patchouli's earthy edge. The base of cedar, sandalwood and oud takes over, drying down into a woody, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so treat these as indicative. Voters pick evening most often, with nights out and leisure close behind. Its dense, full build reads neither masculine nor feminine. M. Micallef Aoud and Czech & Speake Dark Rose have a close profile.
