Oud For Greatness

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dense smoky resinous wood, rich and medicinal. An acquired taste for many Western noses.

It opens on saffron, nutmeg and lavender, moves through angarwood, and settles on patchouli and musk.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• nutmeg: warm dusty spice, dry rather than sweet

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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