LeatheryWhat does Ilham al Oud smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and voters score its value for money highly. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.
It opens with oud, frankincense and rose. Raspberry, saffron and benzoin sweeten and spice the heart. Patchouli, leather, jasmine and amber leave a woody, leathery warmth at the base.
