Oud Alif (Fragrance Concentrée)

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring follows close behind, and few choose summer. It does best in the evening and on nights out, though it also works for leisure and the office. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine.

It opens with oud, moves into saffron and dark chocolate in the heart, and rests on patchouli and nappa leather. The result is sweet, spicy, resinous and smoky, with earthy and leathery tones alongside. Gucci The Voice of the Snake and Zara Exclusive Oud have a close profile.
