How long does this fragrance typically last?+−
Despite being an Eau de Toilette, it is known for solid performance. You can expect about 5 to 6 hours of longevity on the skin, with several users noting it lasts significantly longer on clothing.
Is this suitable for hot weather?+−
Yes. Unlike many oriental fragrances that are strictly for winter, the inclusion of marine notes, ginger, and hibiscus gives it a fresh, aquatic quality that works well in spring and summer. However, it remains a popular choice for fall and winter due to its spicy, woody base.
Is the oud note very strong or "animalic"?+−
No, the oud in Excellent Men is balanced and accessible. It serves more as a woody anchor for the spices and florals rather than being the dominant, pungent note found in some traditional Middle Eastern scents.
What are the best occasions to wear this?+−
This is a highly versatile "daily stand-by" fragrance. It is sophisticated enough for business and office wear but has enough character for casual leisure activities or evening outings.
