Amber Oud

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out coming first and office or daily wear further behind. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine.

It opens with lemon, geranium, elemi resin and pink pepper, a lightly spicy, fresh start. The heart of benzoin, oud and frankincense turns resinous and smoky. The base of vetiver, leather, patchouli and amber settles into a sweet, creamy, woody warmth. Dior Fahrenheit Parfum and Floris Leather Oud have a close profile.
