Is Onyx Extreme appropriate for the office?+−
Generally, no. Its high concentration and "explosive" projection make it better suited for evening events, night outs, or leisure time in the fall and winter. Most users find it too bold for a professional business environment.
How does the oud in this fragrance smell?+−
The Thai oud used here is described as clean and woody rather than "stanky" or animalic. It provides a dark, earthy foundation that is heavily tempered by chocolate, vanilla, and jammy fruits.
Can this be worn by both men and women?+−
Yes, it is classified as a unisex oriental-floral. The rose absolute and ylang-ylang provide a floral heart, while the leather-like nuances of the oud and the creaminess of the sandalwood appeal to a wide range of preferences.
How does this compare to the original Onyx?+−
This version is considered more refined and mature. While the original has a sharper oud profile, the Extreme version introduces a smoother, ambery floral character with more pronounced raspberry and vanilla.
