What does Golden Oud smell like?

It opens with pink pepper and cinnamon, which give a warm, spicy start. In the heart, tonka bean and oriental spices bring out the sweetness. The base holds oud, vanilla, oak, sandalwood, hazelnut and musk, and the dry-down settles into a powdery, creamy, resinous softness.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the votes come from a small sample. It suits those who like rich, sweet, oriental scents, and it can be worn by men and women alike. Alyssa Ashley Tonka Musk and Goldmusk Desert Night have a close profile.
