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.
