Is Encounters suitable for office wear?+−
Given its extreme projection and animalic undertones, it may be too potent for a conservative business environment. If you do wear it to work, the community suggests applying it very sparingly and well in advance of entering a shared space.
How does the oud note behave in this composition?+−
The oud is not the "barnyard" or medicinal variety found in some niche scents. Instead, it serves as a grounding, woody backbone that supports the powdery orris and sweet resins, adding depth rather than taking center stage.
How long does this fragrance typically last?+−
This fragrance is known for its exceptional staying power. It frequently lasts beyond the 12-hour mark on skin and can stay on clothing for days, even after washing.
Does this lean more masculine or feminine?+−
Encounters is a true unisex fragrance. It balances traditionally feminine elements like rose and powdery orris with traditionally masculine notes of cedarwood, oud, and castoreum, making it a versatile choice for anyone who enjoys bold, woody scents.
