Its an interesting composition of oils blended into an amazing combination the geranium layered over the honey sweet background is something extra ordinary which one sees hardly in a fragrance all together the oud is completely safe and feels woody with the combination of westernized woody oud creates a cooling and refreshing effect in the fragrance the characteristic that separates this scent from other oudy fragrances is not its oud but the orange grapefruit combo that evokes a sweet jam like opening where the oud quickly follows giving off a runny sweet syrupy oud then the patchouli and the rest of the notes gently counteract the sweetness and makes the fragrance more rounded by giving it a more thick texture
