What does Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer gets few votes. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also fits business and daily wear. Voters mostly call its character masculine, yet it reads as unisex.

Oud, sandalwood and rosewood form the woody frame, with vetiver adding an earthy edge. Cardamom and pink pepper carry the spice, while amber and tonka bean bring a resinous sweetness. The overall impression is smoky, warm and smooth. Oud Wood Parfum and Zousz Black Oud have a close profile.
