CreamyWhat does Polite Oud smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, and most voters find the longevity high. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine.
It opens with peach, orange, plum and apple for a fruity freshness. Rose, coffee and white blossoms form the heart, soft and creamy on the floral side. The base turns sweeter, with woody and balsamic notes alongside vanilla and musk. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Ahmar and Lattafa Sublime have a close profile.
