What does Oud in Calvados smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably either way.

The notes read as a single whole: oud, apple brandy and cocoa absolute build a sweet, gourmand base. Atlas cedar, Virginia cedar and oak wood frame it in dry, earthy wood. Pink pepper and Italian bergamot add a spicy brightness, while May rose brings a soft floral touch.
