What does Carved Oud (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, while summer gets a small share. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it also finds a place at work and in daily wear. Most voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex.

The top notes of cardamom, cypress and cypriol give a spicy, slightly resinous start. In the heart, South Indian oud, cedarwood and patchouli build an earthy, woody body. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, labdanum, musk and amber sweetens it and carries it into an oriental warmth. Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and Penhaligon's Marylebone Wood have a close profile.
