How does the Extrait de Parfum compare to the Eau de Parfum?+−
The Extrait is widely considered superior—it delivers smoother, more refined leather, noticeably better longevity and presence, and a more balanced composition where the oud and benzoin are more evident. The Eau de Parfum version tends to feel rougher around the edges and underperforms by comparison.
Is this fragrance suitable for women?+−
Yes. Though marketed as unisex, it skews toward a virile, androgynous character that appeals strongly to women seeking a non-traditionally feminine leather option. Its 1920s-30s aesthetic and lack of sweetness make it feel liberating rather than conventionally masculine.
How long does it last and how far does it project?+−
Longevity is excellent—expect it to last all day or longer on skin. Sillage is substantial and presents as a statement fragrance; it has massive presence and fills a room without being obnoxious, making it suitable for evening wear but less ideal for close-quarters professional settings.
