How does the oud in Triad compare to mainstream oud fragrances?+−
Unlike designer scents that use synthetic accords, Triad utilizes several varieties of natural oud, including Sri Lankan and Thai distillations. This results in a much more complex, earthy, and animalic profile that can be challenging for those used to "cleaner" Western interpretations of the note.
Is Triad suitable for warm weather?+−
While it has some citrus and floral accords, the sheer strength and resinous base make it more popular for fall, winter, and spring. In high heat, the animalic hyraceum and heavy benzoin can become overwhelming.
How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity?+−
As an Extrait concentration featuring natural resins and ouds, it is known for lasting all day and well into the night. It has significant sillage, meaning it will leave a noticeable trail and fill a room if over-applied.
Is this a feminine or masculine fragrance?+−
Triad is marketed for both men and women. The May rose and magnolia provide a classic floral elegance, while the hyraceum and multiple ouds provide a rugged, woody foundation that balances the scent toward the center of the spectrum.
