How does the performance of Onyx compare to other Aaron Terence Hughes fragrances?+−
Onyx is widely considered one of the strongest in the lineup, rivaling scents like Adonis in terms of staying power. It is known to stain clothes for days and remains detectable on the skin for over 12 hours.
Is this a feminine rose or a masculine rose?+−
Although it contains rose absolute, the heavy presence of Thai oud, patchouli, and sandalwood gives it a woody, earthy character that many find comfortably unisex or slightly masculine-leaning.
How does the oud in this fragrance smell?+−
The Thai oud used here is described as smooth, woody, and exotic. It avoids the fermented or "barnyard" qualities found in more animalic ouds, instead providing a deep, balsamic foundation.
Is Onyx suitable for daily office wear?+−
Due to its extreme projection and dark, sweet profile, most enthusiasts suggest saving Onyx for evening events, dates, or outdoor winter activities. It may be too intrusive for a standard office environment.
