What does Dubhe smell like?

Dubhe's longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, and nearly all voters rate its staying power as high. As a unisex scent it suits men and women alike, and it fits anyone looking for a dense fragrance that leaves a trail.

The top holds cypriol, rose absolute, saffron and geranium, while white oud, iris, cedar and vanilla lead the heart. The base rests on oud, sandalwood, amber, patchouli and musk. The floral, spicy opening turns sweeter with time and settles onto a woody, creamy base. Pana Dora Oud Republic and Kai Porten Parfums Privés Oud 31 have a close profile.
