What does Perpetual Oud smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and they suggest it for evenings and nights out. Voters call it more feminine than masculine, though a fair number lean the other way.
Saffron, pepper and leather give it a warm, dry frame. Pear and red rose add a soft, sweet fruitiness, while patchouli, vetiver, amberwood and musk build a woody, oriental base. It reads as one whole from start to finish.
