Amber Oud Nusuk

This is a very smokey and woody oud, with a deep base of amber. The scent kind of meanders its way up your skin as you wear it, and clings to clothes intensely. It's almost too smokey, except I detect a slight rose note (as most ouds have) that softens the scent as it matures on your skin. Certainly not for those who shy away from ouds - however, I've found that layering it with a sweeter scent, especially something high in vanilla, adds just enough creaminess to the smell that it helps those amber and rose notes blossom above the smoke and woods.
