Is Narcissus Orientalis suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Given its strong sillage and deep resinous notes, it is generally considered more suitable for evening wear, leisure, or formal events. The intensity of the galbanum and narcissus might be overwhelming in a small, enclosed business setting.
How does the vanilla note present in this fragrance?+−
Rather than a sugary "cupcake" scent, the vanilla here is a blend of Bourbon and Tahitian absolutes. This results in a woody, dark, and slightly boozy sweetness that serves to anchor the florals rather than making the scent gourmand.
How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity?+−
This scent is known for being exceptionally long-lasting. Thanks to the heavy base of beeswax, benzoin, and tonka bean, it typically remains potent for many hours, with some users reporting it lasts through an entire day and into the night.
Does the scent lean more towards the floral or the spicy side?+−
It is a true hybrid. While the narcissus and orange blossom are very present at the start, the dry down is heavily influenced by warm spices and resins, giving it a spicy, golden glow as it matures on the skin.
