How long does this fragrance typically last on the skin?+−
Queen of Silk is noted for its high-powered longevity, often lasting well over eight hours. Many users report that the scent remains detectable on clothing for several days due to the heavy resinous and woody base notes.
Is this a safe blind buy for someone who likes traditional florals?+−
No, it is highly recommended to sample this first. Despite the "floral" classification, the oud, saffron, and incense are very prominent, making it much more aggressive and woody than a standard floral perfume.
Can Queen of Silk be worn during the day in the summer?+−
Most users find this fragrance too dense and heavy for high heat. It is most popular during the cooler months of fall, winter, and early spring, and is generally reserved for evening or night-out wear.
How does the oud note present in this composition?+−
The oud here is not animalic or "barnyard-like." Instead, it provides a dark, slightly synthetic, and medicinal woody backbone that gives the tuberose and vanilla a more mature, edgy character.
