UAE Oud

It opens on vanilla and Cambodian oud; rose and musk in the heart add a soft floral layer, while patchouli and ambergris dominate the base. The overall feel is woody, spicy and resinous, with animal and earthy touches giving it a warm, dark oriental character.

Both longevity and sillage are rated very strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it works as a unisex scent.
