Does this fragrance use real oud or synthetic accords?+−
This composition features a 5% concentration of genuine Thai and Burmese oud. This provides a depth and animalic character that is distinct from the synthetic oud bases used in most mass-market fragrances.
Is this suitable for year-round wear?+−
While it can be worn in the spring, the community largely favors it for fall and winter. Its dense accords of amber, date, and benzoin perform best in cooler temperatures and may become overwhelming in high summer heat.
How does the longevity compare to other luxury oud fragrances?+−
Performance is one of its strongest attributes. It is known for exceptional longevity, typically lasting over 12 hours on the skin, and maintains a strong presence long after the initial application.
Is this fragrance more masculine or feminine?+−
It is classified as unisex. While the woody and oud elements lean traditional masculine, the sweetness of the raspberry, date, and rose adds a lush, jammy quality that appeals to fans of feminine-leaning oriental perfumes.
