What does Oud Noir smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good; most voters rate the lasting power highly. It is unisex, reading neither clearly masculine nor feminine. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are only indicative.

The top notes of rhubarb, plum and lemon give a fresh, fruity start, with saffron adding spice. In the heart, geranium, rose and iris bring a floral softness while cedar lays a woody base. In the base, oud, vanilla and patchouli take over. The accords are fresh, floral, green and spicy.
