AnimalWhat does Silk! Oud smell like?
It opens with orange and lemon brightness, sharpened slightly by pink pepper. In the heart, rose, plum and iris give a floral-fruity sweetness, while Atlas cedar settles it onto a woody base. At the bottom, Thai oud, sandalwood, benzoin and musk take over, and the scent dries down warm, oriental and faintly animalic.
Most voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Winter and fall lead, and evening, leisure and night-out wear are the most chosen uses. Though unisex, voters read it as mostly masculine and classic. Rifat Ozbek Ozbek (Eau de Parfum) and Aaron Terence Hughes Onyx have a close profile.
