Colonia Oud by Acqua di Parma pairs bright citrus with dark oud, and that contrast carries the whole scent. Orange and bergamot open it fresh and a little sharp. Coriander and leather move into the heart, dry and quietly sharp. The base is where the oud takes over, deepened by guaiac wood and cedar into something warm and resinous rather than sweet. Dating to 2012, it has fans among both men and women who want citrus grounded by something heavier rather than kept light. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, and wear it across the day, evening and night alike. Longevity leans long-lasting and sillage leans moderate to strong in the community vote. A 10ml decant is enough to live with it through a change of season before choosing the bottle.

The community verdict
Staying power divides between moderate and long-lasting for Colonia Oud, and projection also divides between moderate and strong. Orange and bergamot give way to coriander and leather, then oud and woods. Its woody, leathery character fits autumn evenings, with winter and daytime also working.
