Initially, this attar opens with a subtle Oud- There is no smoke, or 'skankyness', but a clean medicinal Oud accord. This is followed by warm, sweet Cedar wood notes, before settling into a base of a slightly earthy Patchouli, Vetiver and White Musk aromas. Oud purists may well find Carved Oud to be lacking, but those who are looking for a restrained 'non-animatic' Agarwood, will have much to enjoy in this offering.
