Lavender and grapefruit open it fresh and lightly fruity. In the heart, tobacco, oud and leather come forward; in the base, oud and amber settle into a sweet, warm, oriental finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Chopard Oud Malaki and Killer Oud Death by Oud have a close profile.
