What does Bois Oudh smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it reads as one piece from start to finish. Oud and sandalwood set a woody, smoky ground, cardamom adds a spicy lift, and amber with tonka bean brings a resinous, sweet warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets votes for business and daily wear. Its character reads masculine. Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and Niche 4 All Agar Oud have a close profile.
