Differences come from accords and community votes on longevity and sillage.

In plain words

The main accords of Essencial Oud are woody and oud. It opens with Pink Pepper and Black Pepper, reveals Rose and Priprioca at its heart, and dries down to Agarwood (Oud) and Copaiba Balm. It lasts very long and projects strongly; people reach for it in winter, mostly in the evening.
