What does Oud de Burgas smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, though spring is not far behind. Leisure is the most chosen occasion, followed by evening. It does not lean masculine or feminine and sits comfortably on either.

Oud leads, with cedarwood, Australian sandalwood and gaiac wood building a woody base. Madagascan clove and cypriol add a spicy, earthy edge, gurjum balsam strengthens the resinous side, and iris softens the rough texture. The accords also carry an animal note.
