Reviewed profile
Oud made approachable. The smokiness is there but tempered with rosewood and cardamom. Sophisticated without being stuffy.

Oud Wood keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
