What does Oud 50 smell like?

The two rose absolutes lead. The heart pairs tobacco absolute, opoponax absolute, labdanum absolute and frankincense with Indonesian, Thai, Chinese and Malayan oud. The base holds leather, Java vetiver, sandalwood and musk. A floral, sweet side is set against a spicy, woody, leathery backbone.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a small number of voters have rated it. Its dense, oriental character suits men and women alike. Guerlain Santal Royal and Montale Oud Edition have a close profile.
