What does Batavia Oud (2023) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters rate the longevity high, while opinions on projection are more mixed. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably on both men and women, and it is dense and heavy in character.

Ceylonese cinnamon brings a spicy warmth, while leather and Himalayan cedar lay down a dry, earthy base. Sumatran and Borneo oud join Indonesian sandalwood to add a creamy, powdery, resinous depth. The notes don't separate into stages; the scent moves as one woody cloud from start to finish.
