Tola Gulbadan is a women's perfume that pairs peach and apple with rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang, then settles into oud and vanilla.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

ResinousWhat does Gulbadan smell like?
It opens with peach, apple and lemon, a fresh, fruity start with a little spice from star anise. The heart is floral, led by orchid, rose and jasmine. The base of oud, sandalwood, vanilla and ambergris turns it sweet, woody and resinous.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters call it feminine more often than masculine.
