What does Oud & Rose smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though only a handful of votes sit behind that. It suits those who want a rich scent that stays noticeable on the skin for a long time. It reads as unisex, wearable by men and women alike.

It opens with lemon and rose; in the heart, rose absolute, saffron and geranium come forward, and the floral side is warmed by spice. As it dries, sandalwood, oud and patchouli take over, leaving a woody, smoky base. Tom Ford Oud Fleur and Dior Oud Ispahan (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
