What does Warda al Oud smell like?

Bergamot opens it, then the heart builds a dense floral layer of jasmine, osmanthus, Damask rose and Bulgarian rose. The base is dominated by amber, frankincense, vanilla, Cambodian oud and tobacco, with musk softening the blend. It reads floral, sweet and woody, with gourmand and animal tones in the background.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, while summer trails behind. It suits night outs and evenings best, and also works for leisure. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost even. Xerjoff Mamluk and Dhajala have a close profile.
