Musk Oud comes from By Kilian and opens on lemon lifted by cardamom and coriander, spiced and bright together. Bulgarian rose and cypress move in next, joined by geranium and artemisia for a green, herbal edge. The base settles into musk, incense, oud, rum and patchouli, warm spicy and woody with a powdery close that lingers. Launched in 2013, it is worn chiefly by men after rose and oud without the fragrance tipping sweet. Winter is where voters place it, worn out in the evening and deep into the night. On longevity the community vote lands clearly on eternal, and sillage leans enormous, so one spray carries a long way. A 3ml decant is enough to work out whether that much oud and rose belongs in your rotation.

The community verdict
For someone drawn to a dark rose and oud, Musk Oud starts with sharp lemon and cardamom before musk and incense settle in. Most find it exceptionally long-lasting; the largest group describe room-filling projection. It works best on winter nights, with autumn and evenings also fitting.

The house
More from By Kilian
By Kilian started in France in 2007 with a clear taste for boozy, sweet, after-dark perfume. Rum, caramel and vanilla run through much of the range, warmed by cinnamon and cardamom and set on patchouli, cedar or sandalwood. Angels' Share is the natural first try, warm spice and sweet woods with a glow like an old liqueur. Love Don't Be Shy is softer, sugary white flowers over vanilla. Back to Black brings honey and tobacco, and Black Phantom leans into caramel and spice. For a lighter mood, Moonlight in Heaven pairs citrus with tropical fruit.
