What does Oud Luban smell like?

Longevity and sillage both rate as strong, so it is easy to notice in an evening crowd. The season spread is wide: autumn leads, with spring and winter close behind. Voters read it as more masculine, though it stays unisex.

It opens with Bulgarian rose and black pepper; in the heart, orange blossom and Cambodian oud sweeten it. As it settles, Indian oud, Omani frankincense, vetiver and cedarwood take over, and the floral, spicy side gives way to an earthy, animalic, woody depth. Rania J. Oud Assam and Jazeel Ghala have a close profile.
