What does Exclusive Oud smell like?

It is classed as a men's fragrance, and most voters pick autumn and winter for it. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good.

Cinnamon and saffron bring a spicy warmth, while patchouli and oud ground it in an earthy, smoky base. Leather and cedar strengthen the woody, leathery side, and a sweet, resinous feel runs through the whole scent. Gucci The Voice of the Snake and Montale Leather Patchouli have a close profile.
