Lancome L'Autre Oud

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on saffron, cypriol oil or nagarmotha and labdanum, moves through agarwood (oud), turkish rose and bulgarian rose, and settles on agarwood (oud), guaiac wood and myrrh.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• cypriol oil or nagarmotha: smoky, leathery root, dry and a little tarry. Often used where oud is implied but not used

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
