What does Shogun smell like?

Jasmine sambac and Bulgarian rose form the floral side, kept bright by fruity and green touches. Laotian oud and Cambodian oud join the sandalwood to add a spicy, woody and creamy depth. The scent has no top, heart and base split; the flowers and ouds stay interwoven throughout.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are still tentative. It reads equally well on men and women, and suits those who enjoy oud or like a floral with a rougher, animalic edge.
