ResinousWhat does Amber Oud Ahad smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring a distant third. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet it is also worn for leisure and daily wear.
It opens with neroli, then red rose and orris absolute add a floral, powdery softness at the heart. In the base, amber, labdanum and oud take over, and the scent settles into a resinous, woody warmth with a hint of smoke. Jo Malone Violet & Amber Absolu and Brecourt Ambre Noir (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
