What does Oud Is Great smell like?

Oud and saffron lead the top, with mint and lavender lightening them a little. The heart of geranium, cedar, jasmine and pink pepper builds a spicy, woody middle. In the base, frankincense, musk, sandalwood, leather and patchouli deepen the oriental character, while melon adds a soft sweetness.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good and consider it good value, though the number of votes is small, so this impression is tentative. It reads as a dense, warm scent that suits men and women alike.
