What does Afrikaan Oudh smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Being unisex, it can sit comfortably on either men or women. There is no season or occasion data, so nothing can fairly be said about when it suits best.

Civet and Thai oud dominate, while sandalwood and vetiver lay a smoky, earthy base. Jasmine and gardenia carry the floral side, and vanilla and copaiba balsam sweeten it with a resinous softness. Oakmoss adds a green edge, with orange staying in the background. Arrogance Arrogance pour Homme and Robert Piguet Bandit have a close profile.
