What does Oud-Couture (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. On character, the masculine side leads slightly, though plenty of votes call it feminine.

The top notes of neroli, bergamot and mandarin orange give a fresh, green opening. In the heart, vanilla adds softness while cardamom and black pepper carry the spice. The base of vetiver, rosewood, oud and sandalwood settles into a woody, resinous finish. Note 33 Sensuel Oud and Dunhill Century have a close profile.
