What does Aoud & Minerals smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as good, though these ratings rest on few votes. Fall, spring and summer get almost equal support, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and is also picked for business and nights out.

The notes read as one whole: balsam fir, kelp and sea salt give a cool, marine feel, while pink pepper and Pepperwood™ add spice. Oud, styrax and ambergris leave a woody, smoky, slightly oriental depth beneath that freshness.
