ResinousWhat does Red Musk Oud smell like?
The notes read as one whole rather than as separate layers. Patchouli and cedarwood set a woody, earthy base, while frankincense adds a resinous, smoky edge. Musk softens it all into something powdery with a faint animal warmth. Fresh and green accords lighten the weight a little, and the sweet, oriental side stays in the background, with a leathery touch. It suits those who like woody, resinous oriental scents. Its profile is close to Xerjoff Laylati / Afgano Puro and Initio Magnetic Blend 8.
