Ahmed Al Maghribi Oud Classic Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray Deodorant Spray Amber and sandalwood ground itOud is the core that resinous, slightly animalic wood that smells older than the bottle it's in. Ahmed Al Maghribi keeps it grounded with amber and a thread of spice, so it reads warm rather than austere. Unisex EDP, 50ml spray. Four to five hours on skin, longer if you layer it on clothes. The type that doesn't announce itself across a room sit close enough and it settles into something private.
