What does Halcyon Oud smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, so one application fills the air around you for a long time. The number of votes is small, so this reading is a tentative one. It is dense and warm, and it suits men and women alike.

It opens with toffee, rum and cinnamon giving a sweet, spiced impression, with oud sitting quietly behind them. In the heart, tonka bean, honey and tobacco soften and deepen the scent, while orchid adds a light floral touch. Cambodian oud, benzoin, labdanum and vanilla then settle into a resinous, woody and sweet warmth. Soma Parfums Halcyon and Parfums de Marly Oajan have a close profile.
