What it smells like

Oud smells dark, resinous and intensely woody, with a smoky, sweet, leathery depth and a hint of animalic warmth, sometimes with a medicinal or barnyard edge. It comes from resin-infused heartwood of certain trees, and it feels rich, mysterious and opulent. It is used in the base to add a deep, lingering, dramatic trail. It pairs beautifully with rose, amber, saffron, incense, leather and vanilla.
