What does Oak in Oak smell like?

Oak wood, saffron and cumin give it a dry, spicy woody character. Virginia cedar and patchouli deepen that line, frankincense and Amber Xtreme™ add a resinous warmth, and tonka bean brings a soft sweetness. Orris root stays in the background and smooths the edges.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for leisure, daily wear, business and evening, and it also works for a night out. It suits men and women alike. Le Couvent Valparaiso and Harry Lehmann Oud have a close profile.
