What does Classic Oud smell like?

Voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and suits both.

It opens with a light floral touch from lily of the valley. In the heart, spices, oud and exotic blossoms lead, and the base of oud, vanilla and amber softens everything. Among the accords, floral, sweet and spicy sit alongside woody, powdery, creamy and resinous tones, with a smoky, leathery trace behind them. Alexandria Fragrances Redondo Beach #05 and Kilian Amber Oud have a close profile.
