What Oud smells like

Oud is used in perfumery to bring deep woody, resinous, smoky and sometimes animalic facets to a composition. Within the woods family, it can shape the mood of a scent, add contrast or support the transition between other materials. Its character can feel different depending on concentration and the notes around it.
